During the European Championships, England legend Lineker had criticized the England national team, believing their performance was “abysmal” and harshly criticizing Southgate’s tactics. Today, England star Arnold spoke to The Mirror in an exclusive interview, where he discussed Lineker’s criticism of England.
Arnold said: “We all saw, heard and felt Lineker’s criticism, we all know we can play better, perform better, but hearing it from someone else isn’t good, we all understood that. So no matter what, we always knew we had to play better, and we used the criticism as motivation.”
“I know everyone has high expectations for England, so the criticism is justified, and so do we players, we all believe we should win every game, that’s the standard we set for ourselves, and we would do it under any coach.”
