Even more revealing was the fact that Elliott was given the role of team captain for the very first time in England's second game, which was played against Ukraine.
This marks a crucial turning point in Elliott’s career and is incredibly amazing given that there were other players who may have been chosen for the team instead of Elliott. These other players may have had more “proven” experience than Elliott.
Nevertheless, it reveals his level of maturity and his ability to serve as a model for others. The situation that Elliott finds himself in right now is a perfect illustration of when it is absolutely vital to have such maturity and mental fortitude.
This presents him with the toughest task that Liverpool has ever set before him. Because new players have joined the team, Elliott is now faced with a whole new obstacle to overcome.
Nevertheless, throughout the course of time, he has shown that he is more than capable of rising to the occasion when faced with a challenge. The recent displays that he has given for England’s Under-21 team are ample evidence of the amazing skill that he possesses. A potential that, in the coming years at Anfield, he still possesses every opportunity to realize and will hopefully do so.
