Internationals: Mount goal helps England U-19s to win

Mon 3 Jul 2017


Five of our Chelsea Academy players featured for England Under-19s as the
young Lions kicked off their European Championship campaign with three
group points.


Bulgaria were the opposition as Keith Downing's side began the tournament
in Georgia, where the temperature reached a sweltering 38 degrees
centigrade, with a quartet of our youngsters named in the starting
line-up. Three of those lined up in the back four as Jay Dasilva captained
the team at left-back, Trevoh Chalobah started at centre-back and Dujon
Sterling at right-back.


Mason Mount was last month named the Chelsea Academy Player of the Year
and the 18-year-old continued his stellar season by netting the opening
goal inside a minute. It was a goal in Tbilisi but made in Chelsea as
Sterling supplied the delivery from the right and the midfielder found the
bottom corner with a left-footed finish.


Bulgaria responded well and created good opportunities to level before the
break, with goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale particularly responsible for keeping
England ahead with a string of impressive saves. The interval came at an
ideal time for Downing's youngsters and they doubled their advantage
within four minutes of the restart as Fulham's Ryan Sessegnon netted with
a composed low strike.


Jacob Maddox was introduced from the bench for the final seven minutes,
bringing the Chelsea contingent on the field to five as the three points
were safely secured. Reece James was an unused substitute.


England return to action in Group B on Thursday when they face the
Netherlands before the group stage finishes against Germany on Sunday. In
yesterday's Group A action, Joseph Colley played 90 minutes as Sweden were
beaten 2-1 by Czech Republic in their opener. The top two from each group
advance to the semi-finals.

Young Lions close to semis

Thu 6 Jul 2017


England Under-19s moved close to a place in the semi-finals of the
European Championship for their age group following a deserved 1-0 win
over the Netherlands.


The result followed Monday's 2-0 victory over Bulgaria and means Keith
Downing's youngsters will join Portugal in confirming a last-four spot if
Bulgaria and Germany draw later this evening. The Under-19s are bidding to
become the fourth England age group to reach that stage of their main
tournament this summer.


Four Chelsea Academy representatives featured from the start in Georgia,
just as they had in the group opener. Captain Jay Dasilva, Trevoh Chalobah
and Dujon Sterling made up three-quarters of the back four, while Mason
Mount lined up in midfield. Reece James and Jacob Maddox were unused
substitutes.


Mount netted the opener on Monday and the 18-year-old came closest to
breaking the deadlock in the first half, collecting a cross from Ryan
Sessegnon before his low strike was blocked on the line. The midfielder
then stole possession from the Dutch on the edge of their 18-yard box and
fed it quickly to Lukas Nmecha but the Manchester City striker's shot
deflected inches wide.


England grew stronger after the restart and pushed for a winning goal that
would hand them the initiative in Group B. Mount was denied again, this
time by the goalkeeper after cutting inside dangerously, before Ben
Brereton came off the bench to star as the match-winner, prodding home
from close range six minutes from time.


It was a second consecutive clean sheet at the tournament for a defence
with a strong Chelsea presence. Chalobah, who celebrated his 18th
birthday in Tbilisi yesterday, made a number of impressive blocks in his
own area, while Sterling and Dasilva provided both defensive solidity and
attacking width from full-back.


The win took the young Lions to six points from six in the group following
five wins from six games in qualification. A point against Germany on
Sunday will confirm their semi-final position as group winners.


In Group A yesterday, a Sweden side with Joseph Colley at centre-back lost
narrowly to Georgia, the hosts. It leaves the Swedes bottom and unable to
advance from the group stage.

Chelsea five feature as England U-19s advance

Sun 9 Jul 2017


England advanced to the semi-finals at the Under-19 European Championship
following an impressive victory against Germany in their final group game.


It means Keith Downing's side are the fourth England age group to reach
that stage of their main tournament this summer after teams triumphed at
the Under-20 World Cup, were runners-up at the Under-17 Euros and beaten
in the last four at the Under-21 Euros. The young Lions will meet the
Czech Republic in the semi-final on Wednesday, with Portugal taking on
Netherlands in the other tie.


Chelsea were once again the best-represented club side for England as Jay
Dasilva captained the team alongside Dujon Sterling and Trevoh Chalobah in
the back four. Mason Mount kept his place in midfield while Reece James
was a second-half substitute. Jacob Maddox was unused from the bench.


Chalobah marked his 18th birthday last week but his celebratory mood was
scuppered early on as he was forced to withdraw from the action after
landing awkwardly on his ankle. It could have been worse for England as
Dennis Geiger hit the crossbar before the break but they quickly raced
into a 2-0 lead as Ben Brereton bagged a brace within 12 minutes.


The first came from the penalty spot and the second was teed up by the
impressive Mount, the first of his hat-trick of assists. The 18-year-old
midfielder darted cleverly into space in the 18-yard box and cut a perfect
low ball back for the Nottingham Forest striker to dispatch with a
confident first-time finish.


Germany needed a win to make it to the semi-finals and reduced the deficit
with a quarter of an hour remaining but their efforts at launching a
comeback fell flat. Within eight minutes, they were 4-1 behind and while
Ryan Sessegnon was the scorer on both occasions, Mount continued his role
of creator-in-chief.


His floated clip in behind the German back four was exquisite and pitched
perfectly into the path of the Fulham full-back, who finished
emphatically, before Sessegnon beat the keeper again a few moments later
with a powerful low strike.


The victory means England progress with a 100 per cent winning record and
will meet the Czech Republic in three days’ time aiming to reach the
tournament final for the first time in 12 years.

當我漫遊在斯坦弗森林時，我看見了雀爾西，米爾斯的女兒，在傍晚初升的明月中，
在泰晤士河旁一處林地空間上翩然舞蹈。所有痛苦的記憶都離開了我，我像落入迷離
幻境中一般，因為雀爾西是伊露維塔兒女中最美的一位。她身上那襲藍色的衣裳宛如
萬里無雲的晴空，她灰色的眼睛像是傍晚群星閃爍的天空；她的斗篷上繡著金色的花
朵，她的頭髮漆黑如暮色中的陰影。她的榮光與美好，就像樹葉上的光芒，像是潺潺
流水，像是這迷離世界上方閃爍的繁星；她臉上有閃亮的光輝。
