An equally delicious finish of Harry Kane Put the game in bed for the three lionsHe never needed to leave the first team, while Albania sat down on a low block and sought to minimize any space that England could explode.
Lewis-Skelly’s performance It was one of the main points of conversation At night, based on what has been a whirlwind for a few months for the age of 18. It was already common next to the arsenal, maintaining the tastes of Riccardo Calafieri and Kieran Tierney, it seems to be one of the main options of England on the left, a position that has encountered playing after growing as a central midfielder.
The way Lewis-Skelly is headed Arsenal and England His colleague declined Rice, who trusted that the young man again surrendered to the great stage.
“It’s without fear, it does it just on the pitch,” said Rice ITV Sport. “He prepares himself. He is only 18 years old, I try to take care of him the best I can, but he knew he would go to play this night because of the confidence he has in himself and the way he trained all week and what I have seen in the club, as it is around the club.
“His mother, his father, his brothers, everyone should be so proud of him because his ascent this year has been unreal and he has kept his feet on the ground. This is just the beginning for him.”
Next to Rice, Lewis-Skelly admitted that he was “lost by words” for the opportunity to shine for England in Wembley. “I am very grateful for the director to trust me and my colleagues played with great confidence in me,” he said. “I’m really happy, I’m lost by the words.”
Tuchel was equally effusive in praise for Lewis-Skelly, saying: “He was incredible in the camp. He is full of confidence and very full of humor and such an open and mature character.
“Everything you see on the pitch you see outside the pitch. He was part of the group, he is very impressive. He does it with a natural confidence and this is how he plays football.
“It was a great performance and full of courage, full of quality and more even if he could be with his small career behind the line and be decisive in this game for us.”
