In this European Championship Raheem Sterling has already scored 3 goals and is arguably considered as the brightest star of the England national team. The player's efforts are noticed by national team coach Gareth Southgate, who did not spare kind words for the forward at a press conference. Southgate said about R. Sterling: "He is a fighter and has incredible resilience and hunger. Raheem has really developed his nose for goals over the past years, especially in those situations where the ball appears near the goal, near the posts, he always is there. Sterling finds himself there and, of course, his pace is fantastic. We understand his journey with England and I am very happy for him, that he is capable of delivering such performances, like against Germany. Playing like that at 'Wembley' stadium is a special event for him," - said England's national team strategist about R. Sterling.

England's national team has scored 4 goals in EURO 2020 so far, and 3 of them - by R. Sterling. The next match for England awaits against Ukraine, in Rome, and all 'Three Lions' fans will hope that Sterling will maintain a similar level and continue to shine.
