Match winner Rowe on the Young Lions becoming ‘unstoppable’ after second consecutive EUROs win | OneFootball

England Under-21 match winner Jonathan Rowe says winning the European Championship is just the start of something special for the Young Lions.

Lee Carsley’s men went 2-0 up after goals from Harvey Elliott and Omari Hutchinson but were taken to extra time by Germany, who hit the bar in stoppage time, but substitute Rowe’s goal in the 92nd minute was enough for the Young Lions to secure a second consecutive Euros title.

When asked about England’s victory and their new found taste for silverware at U21 level, Rowe was adamant it was all down to mentality and is confident the Three Lions are about to start a new phase of dominance.

“It’s the start of a new wave,” the 22-year-old said. “We have so much talent in England so it’s only right that we utilise it to its full potential.

“With the right head coach, with the right staff, with the right mindset, with the right people, you can accomplish anything.

“It’s more the mental side. How [coaches] make us feel as players, the self belief they give us to go out and perform and express ourselves.

“To make it as a professional is difficult. We are all capable of doing a lot of amazing things but to perform consistently and do it time and time again that’s the difficult part.

“If we have the right mindset and the right self belief in ourselves and the people around us we’ll create a good team and we’ll show that we’re unstoppable.

“We all dug deep, stuck in and we all achieved what we came here to achieve. Everyone is special in their own way. Everyone has got unique talents.

“Everyone has got amazing ability. We all come together as a team and we all came with the right mindset, that’s the main thing.

“A self belief, a belief in the team, and that trust in each other to get the job done and for everyone to play their part.

“I think it just gelled together. We haven’t all played together before so at the start it was difficult to gel at times. But we found our feet very quick and it paid off in the end.”
