England's Young Lions can handle the Golden Generation tag - Abraham England Under-21 striker Tammy Abraham insists the Young Lions can handle being called the next Golden Generation. The 19-year-old is confident Aidy Boothroyd's youngsters are ready to take the spotlight following the Under-20s' World Cup triumph on Sunday. Paul Simpson's side were crowned world champions after a 1-0 win over Venezuela, with the Under-21s now aiming to echo their success at Euro 2017 in Poland. The previous group named the Golden Generation included David Beckham, Frank Lampard, Paul Scholes and Wayne Rooney but never got past the quarterfinal stage of a major tournament. Chelsea forward Abraham is preparing for Friday's tournament opener against holders Sweden in Kielce and believes the new crop can cope if they are given the same nickname. He said: "We definitely can handle that tag. We have guys who are talented, can work hard and have everything. It's just about blending in and becoming one, not just thinking about yourself. "They did the country so proud and we would love to follow in their footsteps by winning the Euros. Obviously being the Under-21s we want to show we are the next up and coming players for the England squad, so there is a bit of pressure. "But then we have some amazing lads, so we think we can go far as well. We can't have them bragging they won and we didn't!'' Abraham, who has been linked with a loan move to Newcastle or Brighton, was eligible for Simpson's Under-20s squad but was selected by Boothroyd for Euro 2017 after scoring 26 goals on loan at Bristol City last season. He could have been a world champion but is determined to focus on succeeding in Poland with the Under-21s. Abraham, who will wait until after the tournament to decide his future, said: "Yes it's bittersweet, it's true. It's a great achievement. I'm sure they're proud of themselves. "The whole country is proud of them. They deserved to win it. But obviously I'm here to win the Euros and we've got a lot of good players, so we're in with a chance. "A lot of the boys watched the whole game at St George's Park after training. I'm proud to have helped them get to the tournament, of course, but obviously I'm so proud to be here as well. "Hopefully what I've done all season is paying off and we can win the tournament. The boys are buzzing. "It's massively inspiring. We're going into a massive tournament now with the Under-21s and it would be nice to end it on a blast. The boys are confident. "We've had a great season. We just want to top off with a win. Some of the lads have played in the Premier League, in top teams, we have an amazing team. Hopefully we can show that. We're all excited and we just have to prove it.'' http://kwese.espn.com/football/england-u21/story/3143272/englands-young-lions-can-handle-the-golden-generation-tag-abraham ......................... Tammy Abraham is already talking about being part of the golden generation of England players. Seriously, the way people talk up the prospects of some of these players dumping European countries for Nigeria perplexes me. Is it that we haven't learnt from previous experiences that Nigeria will never be considered if such player is in the ascendancy with top career prospects. Let's continue making derogatory comments about our home grown players and league while talking up the chances of Nigerians abroad to make babies who will represent us. Let's continue deluding ourselves. If Tammy dumps England for Nigeria, I will quit my job and become a Thai monk for a year. 1 Like |

do4luv14: To be honest with you,I have listened and read how former ex footballers and coaches have clamoured for a better shot stoppers for all our national teams. Most of them want Akpeyi to be axed from the team.I forsee this is the end of Akpeyi.Alloy Agu has been lackadaisical with this sensitive department of the team.If he is not ready to sit up,he should ship out. 1 Like 1 Share |

Daninya11:with these resolutions coming from the NFF our football might be heading south! My question is who are folks in technical committee? Are they even technically sound? If yes, do they have the progress of our football in mind or they are after their pockets? Because me I'm afraid of lobbying and corruption from this group of people calling themselves football technocrats... which we've seen before and once again letting it ruin and set fire on the only thread bonding this nation-FOOTBALL. 3 Likes |
