The U-21 Euro tournament saw England’s U-21 squad triumph. The junior English team’s victory over Spain in the competition’s final, by a score of 1-0, brought cheer to the people of England. There were a few well-known players among the Three Lions. Among the players the fans were familiar with were Levi Colwill, Curtis Jones, Cole Palmer, Emile-Smith Rowe, Harvey Elliott, as well as Noni Madueke.
In reality, Jones’ goal was the game-winner. In the final seconds of the first half, the Liverpool player scored. In the end, his goal turned out to be victor. Palmer’s free-kick was deflected into the goal by Jones.
Despite having more shots on goal than Spain, La Roja was unable to find a way to tie the score despite having players like Alex Baena, Arnau Tenas, Gabri Veiga, and many more in their ranks. They also received a last-ditch penalty, however, James Trafford made two brave saves to give his nation the victory. Without giving up a single goal, the Three Lions claimed victory at the U-21 Euros.
The England squad that won the U-21 Euro had Levi Colwill as well as Noni Madueke as key players. Colwill was on loan to Brighton & Hove Albion the previous season. While this was going on, Madueke signed from PSV Eindhoven around January 2023. Because Madueke was a member of Tottenham’s academy, Pochettino claimed to be familiar with him. Additionally, he spoke with Colwill after he became Chelsea’s manager.
Mauricio Pochettino’s comments on Chelsea duo
Mauricio Pochettino said that “Yes, we spoke yesterday [Thursday] with Levi and Noni. One I know – Noni – from Tottenham, he was in the Under-18s. And of course Levi I know but I introduced myself with him. I wish all the best for tomorrow [in U-21 Euro final]. It’s true that for me it’s difficult because it’s Spain vs England, but I wish them all the best.”
The two are anticipated to accompany Chelsea on its preseason trip shortly after helping England win the championship in the final. Both athletes are anticipated to play significant roles for Chelsea under Pochettino.
