'He normally protects his players but that was very strange.'
Gary Lineker found Gareth Southgate’s comments ‘very strange’ and ‘insulting’ Gareth Southgate’s comments regarding Kalvin Phillips would have been ‘insulting’ to his England squad, Gary Lineker believes. The Three Lions are still reeling from their woeful 1-1 draw with Denmark in their second match of Euro 2024. Though England’s place in the knockouts is all but confirmed, their performances against Denmark and Serbia are extremely concerning.
Southgate’s comments did not go down well ‘If we’ve been relying on Kalvin Phillips for the last few years, then that is very worrying for me. I don’t think we have but I didn’t understand this comment at all.’ ‘Well it was insulting to some of the players already there and also it’s wrong because there are players in that squad who can do it,’ Lineker replied. ‘Even the young players who he’s brought in can do it. Adam Wharton can do it. Kobbie Mainoo could probably do it.
