John Stones said that after the heroic deeds of England, Raheem Sterling is worthy of the 2021 European Cup.

Sterling continued his good form by scoring two goals in a 2-1 victory over Denmark at Wembley Stadium, which allowed England to win the first European Championship final against Italy on Sunday.

Under Sterling’s pressure, the Danish captain Simon Kjaer scored the ball into his goal in the first half and equalized the score for England. The winger then won a controversial penalty in overtime, converted on Harry Kane’s rebound, and he appeared to be caught between two Danish players.

Sterling also scored the only two goals in the England group stage and broke the deadlock in the historic round of 16 victory over Germany.

“I have always said that I am a big fan of Raheem,” Stones said. “I definitely want to see him become the best player in the tournament. What he has done for us and the selfless part of his game is self-evident. As players, we see this.

“He has always been a huge threat, how direct his performance in the game is. Playing with him is great. I believe he will give everything on Sunday and be very direct. I hope he can score another goal. See Where does it need us.

“I am happy for him. He has personally experienced some difficult times. I can only talk about what I have experienced from my perspective. You can see that this has inspired him. He has stepped up and the other end is more Good players, this is what the top players do.

“They defined something, or when things didn’t go well they found a way to succeed and perform well as a player and as a person. Raheem did this both on and off the court. I can only say He really deserves it.”

Some continental European newspapers expressed indignation at referee Danny Makkelie’s decision to sentence England to Denmark’s penalty kick. After Kasper Schmeichel saved his taming from the scene, Kane made a change during the second questioning.

On Sunday, certain parts of the Italian media have tried to pressure Dutch official Bjorn Kuiper not to favor England in front of the home audience.

When asked if England were worried, Stones said: “Absolutely not. I think this is a penalty.

“I have bias, but I saw it, and I think the referee made the right decision. Or VAR made the right decision. I think this is something I don’t want to intervene or be affected by it. My point is that this is A correct decision, he was hit in two ways.”

Speaking of England’s first Grand Slam final since 1966, Stones added: “This is a huge game.

“Because it is also at Wembley, it is even more special. This is something we can only dream of at the beginning of the game. We are here to try to win it.

“We have come to this point. We have continued to grow throughout the game. We can’t put too much pressure on ourselves. In the past few years, we have overcome some severe tests. We have learned a lot and gained a lot of experience in those games.

“All the learning curves and experiences we went through brought us to Sunday, so this is an important moment.”
