The England national team successfully started their qualification for the 2020 European Championship Group A matches on Friday, when they crushed Czech footballers at home with a score of 5:0.
This match was highlighted by the star of Raheem Sterling - the country's forward scored a "hat-trick".
After the game, one of the leaders of the "Manchester City" team praised also by the England national team coach Gareth Southgate, who said that R. Sterling should be an example for young players.
"I consider Raheem as part of our group of leaders, that's what he is now. Sterling is an example for young players. He is always focused during training, takes the preparation process seriously and enjoys taking on extra responsibility. It was a great evening for this player.
Last night I saw what I saw from Raheem all week, so I wasn't surprised. At the moment, he is very confident both on and off the field. Sterling appears mature and has found his playing style.
I'm glad he received a positive reaction from the fans, because it's no secret that Sterling had difficult moments in the past. But now everything is different," - G. Southgate did not hesitate to praise his player after the victory.
