Henry Winter 🤖<p>Some wholesome Jack Hinshelwood content from the Euros in Slovakia...he's playing well, full-back inverting into midfield, reading danger, coping well with the heat/opposition and he has an England dream...</p><p>When Alexis Mac Allister returned to Brighton & Hove Albion after winning the 2022 World Cup with Argentina, Hinshelwood was waiting in reception with all the squad and staff and a huge confetti cannon. Mac Allister was showered with blue and white confetti when he walked in. </p><p>“It was a very special moment,” Hinshelwood recalls. “It was amazing to have a World Cup winner at Brighton and he got a great reception.” Hinshelwood got to see Mac Allister’s medal. “I did, yeah. It was nice and made it all feel real. You know, a player from Brighton winning the World Cup.”</p><p>A target for him? “We’ll see.” Like all England Under-21s currently focused on defending their Uefa crown against Germany in Bratislava on Saturday, Hinshelwood’s longer-term target is the World Cup. He grew up watching the “Golden Generation” who failed to deliver. More recently, under Gareth Southgate, England went close. Now, at Under-21 level under Lee Carsley, England generate more of a winning culture, sending more winners into the senior squad.</p><p>“We've got to remain humble,” Hinshelwood says. “We’re in the Under-21s. We've got a great group and Lee always talks about how we need to break the mould of what people think of English football. We haven't won a major tournament for 60 years now. We're all looking to the future and there's a bright future. We know we have amazing individuals. </p><p>"Two years ago, they also had an amazing group and you see what those players are doing now (Palmer, Colwill, Gordon and others promoted to seniors). It's really inspiring for us and really gives us that extra motivation to want to reach that level. Right from the start we came in with a lot of belief that we can really do well in this tournament and go all the way.”<br> <br>It helps having match-winners like Harvey Elliott. “We've got several of them in the group. Players who can produce moments of magic like Harvey did. Omari (Hutchinson) down the left was great throughout the game (against the Netherlands), causing all sorts of problems. Jay (Stansfield) upfront was a handful again. We've got a lot of players in the group who can cause problems for the opposition.” <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ENG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ENG</span></a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/U21EURO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>U21EURO</span></a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/BHAFC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BHAFC</span></a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/LFC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LFC</span></a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ITFC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ITFC</span></a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/BCFC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BCFC</span></a></p>
