Early this morning, England U21 defeated Germany U21 3-2 in overtime in the final of the European Youth Championship to win the championship. After the game, England U21 coach Lee Casley accepted an interview with the media.
Talking about the recent contract renewal and future plans, Lee Casley said: "I'm not sure yet, enjoy the victory tonight. I love this job and enjoy working with the players. I had the opportunity to coach the adult team before, and that experience also benefited me a lot. What I can do now is pave the way for the players to the adult team."
"We will go back to the hotel to rest for a few hours, and fly to Birmingham at 3:30 in the morning. The itinerary is very compact. The players will start taking vacation tomorrow. Their rest time is very precious. Maybe they should have a drink or two of light beer to celebrate tonight."
"I feel extremely proud, Not for yourself, but for the dedication that the players have shown in the past 28 days. All our tactical guidance has been quickly digested. This team is full of belief in winning, and we need such a player. "
" The second crown of European champions is a great achievement, and I think the next challenge is to defend the title again in two years."
Speaking of the competition challenges, Lee Casley said: "Every time we encounter setbacks, the players respond actively. I told the players that the longer we stay, the better we will play. Although the performance tonight was not perfect, the defense retreated too deeply, and the control of the field was not ideal, these details will be forgotten in a few days."
