As England prepares to defend its European Championship Under-21 title, the team boasts significant talent despite losing key players due to transfers. Manager Lee Carsley remains optimistic, calling on his squad to not only match but exceed the success of the 2023 U21 champions, who went undefeated throughout their tournament. Carsley acknowledges the challenges of replicating past successes while emphasizing the team's potential. The current squad, valued at over 428 million, features high aspirations as they kick off against the Czech Republic.
"It's difficult to compare [2023 and 2025] at the minute, but we want them to be better than the last group, so hopefully they can be."
"To win six games and not concede any goals [in the entire tournament], I think that will be very hard to recreate. But it's a goal and it's a target."
