On June 24th, according to English media reports, Rice defended his teammate Arnold in an interview.
When asked why the England team had Arnold playing in midfield, Rice said: “Funny, it really made me laugh, almost half the country wanted Arnold to play in midfield. People ask him to play and now they’re bashing him and criticizing him, I don’t understand, it’s hilarious.”
“Arnold is one of the best, I’ve seen him play for England, I’ve also seen his ability against Liverpool, he’s an unparalleled player.”
“I hope people don’t ask players to play in positions they’re not good at, then after one or two bad games, they start to backtrack and continue to criticize.”
