England manager, Gareth Southgate has come out to hail Leeds United player, Kalvin Phillips after he started all three of England’s most recent World Cup qualifiers. Kalvin recently shocked the football world with his displays in the games and he is now contending for a spot in England’s squad at the delayed European Championship.
According to Southgate, he is really happy with Kalvin’s performances and he has definitely been a good addition to the group.
He added that Philips has dazzled him with really reliable rebounding of the ball in midfield, and his athleticism also makes him unique.
His words, “We’re really pleased with what Kalvin has done,”
“We were going to pick him last March when he was in the Championship [before the pandemic hit]. He came in in August before he had played in the Premier League.”
“Kalvin has been a great addition to the group. Super boy, great humility, [a] very, very good player. [He] is really reliable with his rebounding of the ball in midfield. His athleticism is critical.”
“We contemplated making a change for a long time but our attacking players were all having an impact. Declan and Kalvin giving us that stability in front of defence was key. We stuck with it. Sometimes you have to hold your nerve and stick with what you believe to be right.”
