Southampton wing-back Tino Livramento says he's not getting carried away with his sudden career achievements.
A move from Chelsea has been followed by a first England U21 cap.
Livramento said: “Pulling on the England shirt means everything (to me).
“When you are young, you dream of doing things like this as a footballer and right now it (playing for England) is the biggest stage I can go to.
"I am proud that I am representing my family and myself.
“Captaining England (at under-18s level) was probably the proudest moment for me so far. It tops everything.
"Just walking out there and not only playing but being captain brings out a different side to me that I don't usually bring when I am not captain.
"I was talking more and it was a good experience because I think it has brought a different side to my game that maybe I was missing.
“It was the proudest moment for me so far."
Discussing his first call-up to the under-21s, Livramento added: "To get to that next step with England was quite a surprise but it was a massive thing for me and my family.
“It has obviously been a crazy couple of months but even though it is a big thing to be playing in the Premier League, at Southampton it has been easy to settle in because of everyone there and the coaches and playing staff.
“Getting the England call-up was even more of a massive thing for me. So I am trying to take everything in my stride and keep moving forward."
