London –
Harry Maguire was greeted coldly by his own fans when English rolled Ivory Coast 3-0. Trainer Gareth Southgate criticized the treatment of Maguire.
The Manchester United centre-back was played in a duet with Tyrone Mings in the heart of the England defense when they hosted Ivory Coast at Wembley in a test match, Wednesday (30/3/2022) early morning WIB. However, Maguire got scorn from the Three Lions supporters.
The cheers from a number of spectators were heard as Maguire’s name was read in the stadium before the match. Maguire was then booed again when he touched the ball for the first time in the first half.
Some England fans seem to be questioning eligibility Harry Maguire into the England squad, following his poor performances with MU this season. However, it is undeniable that Maguire tends to play better with the Three Lions.
“I think the response was ridiculous, ridiculous,” Southgate said Sky Sports. “His performance with us was very good. I don’t understand. We are together here or not at all.”
“He’s wearing an England shirt and you don’t just have to support an English player, no matter what, but when you play at his level with us and put on a performance like him, there has to be full commitment behind him. I really don’t understand. “
“His performance was quite imperfect. We know everyone has difficult moments but he is a top player and he will overcome it,” continued the 51-year-old coach.
“His club is in a very difficult situation but he is now an English player. I remember very well that several decades ago there were some players who were ridiculed while strengthening the England national team and that was unacceptable to me. Fans should support their team,” said Southgate defending Harry Maguire.
