Former England defender Ashley Cole has lauded Newcastle’s ‍Tino Livramento,projecting ‍”a beautiful and‍ bright future” for the young player. Cole, currently an assistant coach ⁣for England’s under-21s, highlighted Livramento’s performance after England’s 3-1 victory over the Czech republic, where Livramento earned player of the match.

Livramento’s performance played a meaningful part as England U21s began⁤ their campaign to defend their European Championship title. Cole, ⁢who has worked with Livramento at Chelsea, noted the⁢ player’s advancement.

Cole observed Livramento’s growth since his time in Chelsea’s youth ranks. He credits Livramento’s move to ⁤Newcastle with providing the first-team experience and confidence needed ⁤to develop into a top player. He also acknowledged ⁤the importance of‍ a manager’s⁢ trust in a young⁢ player.

England U21s head coach Lee ⁣Carsley currently lacks a natural left-back, ⁣mirroring ⁣a similar issue within the senior team. With ⁣limited options, Livramento has an opportunity ⁤to fill that role.

Despite primarily playing as a right-back, Livramento’s appearances on the left side for Newcastle could pave his way into Thomas Tuchel’s plans for the ⁢World ⁢Cup next summer. His versatility⁤ could prove invaluable.

“Whatever level he wants to get to, he can get to because he’s got that ‍personality and desire,” Cole said.

What’s next

Livramento will likely continue to play a key role ⁤for⁢ both Newcastle and ⁣the England U21 team, with his versatility⁣ potentially opening doors to the senior England squad⁤ and the upcoming World Cup.
