Criticised the England squad.
"Graham Souness, a legend of Liverpool as a player, raised questions about the England national team led by Gareth Southgate," Chelsea's "Chelsea Chronicle" said on the 19th. "Raheem Sterling is more of a threat than Jack Grealish, so I don't know why he's not picking him," Souness said.
England beat Malta 2-0 in the UEFA Championship qualifying round on Wednesday. Malta defender Pepe scored an own goal in the 8th minute of the first half, and Harry Kane scored an additional goal in the 30th minute of the second half.
Grealish, who Souness criticized, did not play on the day. Naturally, there seems to have been questions about Grealish's selection for the national team. Sterling, on the other hand, has not been selected for the England national team since the 2022 Qatar World Cup in November last year. 사설토토
The two players have shown conflicting moves this season. Sterling is one of the players doing their bit while Chelsea are underperforming. He has scored five goals and two assists in 14 games in all tournaments this season. In the 12th round of the Premier League on the 13th, he also scored Chelsea's second goal against his old team Manchester City.
Grealish, on the other hand, appeared in 13 games in all tournaments this season, but only had two assists. It's a very disappointing move for Manchester City. Grealish left Aston Villa to join Man City ahead of the 2021-22 season. At that time, Manchester City paid a whopping 100 million pounds (about 161.5 billion won) to recruit Grealish.
However, there are criticisms that they cannot afford to pay for their money. In addition, Manchester City have signed Grealish position rival Jeremy Doku ahead of this season. Doku has four goals and six assists in a total of 16 games this season.
