Young Lion Elliott Roars with Praiseā¦
Harvey Elliott, young enough to still believe in fairy tales, has scored not one, but TWO magisterial goals in Englandās glorious 2-1 triumph over the Netherlands in the Under-21 Euros. While he basked in his lion-hearted heroics, Elliott couldnāt stop name-dropping two Liverpool legends ā Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk, who apparently sprinkle leadership dust on him every time they walk past. His role in defending the Young Lionsā crown, which they snatched from Spain in a nail-biting 1-0 final, is getting bigger and shinier, much like a footballerās new boots!
Elliott, who reportedly spends his weekends by the Mersey dreaming of following Salahās footsteps in net-busting performances, is soaking up those leadership rays like a cat on a sunny windowsill. āMo and Virgil never stop meowing about scoring at the last minute,ā he chuckled, with the wisdom of a young Jedi. āItās all about those āholy-moleyā moments on the pitch where you either score or scramble like a dizzy squirrel. Thank goodness I was feeling nutty today and bagged us those goals!ā
But will he be the wizard with the hat trick in the final against Germany? āWho knows?!ā he shouted, juggling imaginary balls in anticipation. āWeāre all super players, not just me, and we all deserve a medal for showing up and kicking it! The squirrel of fear has scampered off, and weāre ready to play without whiskers twitching!ā May the football gods be ever in their favor!
