In the final of the European Youth Championship, England U21 defeated Germany U21 3-2 after overtime and successfully defended his title. After the game, England striker Elliott was interviewed by Channel 4.

■About winning the European Youth Championship

Elliott said: "It's another incredible moment, but this time it means a lot more, especially after winning this championship last year. We have huge expectations for winning the trophy, there is a huge pressure in the game, but the players have their own ways of dealing with it throughout the tournament, and I don't think anyone deserves this championship more than we do. The hard work environment, the hot weather, everything involved is exhausting. But now it's party time and we want to enjoy it. ”

■ Regarding being selected for the England national team

Eriot said: "It will never be easy, because the England team is full of talents and is a world-class player from top to bottom. As I said, but all I can do is to train and perform hard at the club level, hoping to win opportunities. We are very grateful to Tuchel for coming to support us on the spot, and hope we left a deep impression on him. Now we can only wait for the result."

In this competition, Elliot played all the time, scoring five goals in six appearances, and performed extremely well. Elliott was also named the "Best Player" of this tournament, and the UEFA Technical Observation Group called him "the most influential player since the start of the first match."
