On a weekly basis, Kalvin Phillips impresses for Leeds United, and when he was selected to represent England at Euro 2020, he demonstrated the same qualities.
However, he has said that he was "blown away" by some of his international colleagues during certain training sessions for Euro 2020 in the summer of 2018.
After being challenged to put together the finest five-a-side team possible from his Euro 2020 group, Phillips highlighted three individuals in particular that "blew him away" during training.
“We conducted this exercise on the first day we arrived here,” he explained. A three-on-three matchup. My teammates Luke Shaw and Ben White were up against Sancho, Rashford, and Jordan Henderson, and we won. They far surpassed our expectations.
“We were playing games and doing other things for like five hours, but these were just too wonderful to pass up. “It looks like I'll have to accompany them.”

The same interview also revealed that Manchester United captain Harry Maguire considers Rashford to be "one of the finest five-aside players" that he has ever come across while playing with the Red Devils.
Man United supporters may begin to read too much into Phillips' complimentary remarks, especially given the club's present need for a holding midfielder.
Kalvin Phillips: Is he the missing piece in Manchester United's puzzle?
As a member of the Bulgarian national team, former Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov was insistent that he was the precise player that his former club should sign.
The following was mentioned by him during the group stages: "Kalvin Phillips stood out once again."
I anticipate him to leave Leeds for a larger club sooner rather than later because he's been named one of the best players in the competition. After the event, he will get a slew of lucrative offers.
