England forward Chloe Kelly is not satisfied by her winning goal in the final of Euro 2022 and is hungry for more honours with the Lionesses.
Kelly was the hero as England won Euro 2022, scoring the decisive goal in extra-time as the Lionesses beat Germany 2-1 to claim their first ever major trophy in women’s football.
The Manchester City winger has shot to fame since then, becoming a household name across the country.
Kelly, however, isn’t satisfied by her iconic moment this summer and the 24-year-old wants to make more memories with England.
“Of course the goal will always stick in people’s minds,” said Kelly. “I want to be living that moment for the rest of my life, but also many of these good moments as well [in the future].
“I think it just makes me excited to learn and be better. I have got so much to learn and that’s what excites me.
“We have had such a high moment and it can only get better because I am improving.
“I am enjoying myself, but my focus turns to next summer now.
“I didn’t play too many minutes, as in my body being tired, but mentally it was definitely tiring. But it felt so good to get back on the pitch, I was excited to get back on the pitch and learn.
“The winning feel, you just want more of that once you’ve tasted it.
“One medal round your neck is probably not enough because I just want to win. To do it with such a great bunch of girls it makes you so much more hungrier to get back on the pitch.
“I was so excited to just get back on the pitch and learn, because obviously I am so young so I want to experience these winning feelings so much more in my career.”
Kelly has become a star since her winning goal at Wembley Stadium this summer, appearing on billboards and magazine covers.
The winger will return to Wembley on Friday, with England taking on world champions USA in front of a sell-out crowd.
Kelly will once again be centre stage, but she has not struggled to keep her feet on the ground this summer.
“It was quite easy to be fair, because I want to experience that winning feeling even more,” said
“It was a bit mad to be honest. I am just a normal girl, ain’t I? To be noticed in the street a little bit more is a bit crazy.
“One day I was going to meet the girls at City and a car pulled up of loads of girls and started shouting my name.
“So I am there waving, thinking it was the City girls, and then I was like - I don’t know any of these people!
“I was just walking down to the city of Manchester and I was like, wait, this is weird.
“I am enjoying the moment, but it is about performing on the pitch. I just want to improve on the pitch and keep learning, because now you taste the winning feeling it just makes it even more exciting to win more.”
