England Euros Squad: Southgate Under Fire for Leaving Grealish Behind, Rooney Calls for Management Shake-Up!
England’s Euro dreams are brewing controversy! Manager Gareth Southgate’s squad selection has come under heavy fire from none other than Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney. While Jack Grealish, the silky playmaker from Manchester City, was a notable absentee from the final 26, a surprising decision to keep young defender Jarell Quansah only added fuel to the flames.
Surprise Call-Up, Disappointing End for Quansah
Quansah, a first-timer in the England camp, was initially a surprise inclusion. However, his dream quickly turned sour. Despite training with the squad, he didn’t see the field in the friendly against Iceland, and worse, remained glued to the bench during their recent 1-0 defeat – a mere nine days before their crucial Euros opener!
Rooney Unloads: Sent Home or Humiliated?
Rooney, witnessing Quansah’s dejection firsthand, believes Southgate mishandled the situation. “[Quote] That’s why I think Gareth should have sent them all home,” he blasted on The Overlap. Keeping Quansah around, only to leave him out entirely, “[Quote] straight away you have a split,” he argued. Rooney suggests a more respectful approach: “[Quote] I think Gareth should have said go home… if anyone gets injured I’ll call you. Otherwise, go on your holidays.”
Grealish’s Omission: Talent vs. Tactics?
With Grealish left out, questions linger. Was it a tactical decision, or was Southgate prioritizing a different style of play? England fans are eager for answers, especially considering Grealish’s impressive form for Manchester City.
Southgate’s Euros Gamble: Will it Pay Off?
Southgate’s decisions have set the stage for a high-stakes Euros. Can England overcome the controversy and deliver on the pitch, or will these selections come back to haunt them? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: the pressure is on!
