If you were to get information from social networks, Harry Maguire would probably be the worst footballer to ever appear on the Island, but the reality is a little different...
Although he is accompanied by hiccups and bad situations, the fact is that Maguire is the mainstay of one of the best generations of England in history, the stopper who led "proud Albion" to the European finals and World Cup semi-finals...
However, a new mishap and an own goal in a friendly match against Scotland (3:1 for England) started the "avalanche" again - so much so that coach Gareth Southgate had to react because of everything.
"Such treatment has become ridiculous for a long time, I don't know any other player who is treated like him by our experts, commentators or whoever," Southgate told Athletic.
When he said "our experts", the England coach meant the people of England, as Scotland fans also took the opportunity to poke fun at the England stopper during the match in Glasgow.
"I can understand them - they're having fun. But this is all made up on our end - it's beyond anything I've seen so far. It makes me angry," added Southgate.
He once again reiterated how important Maguire is for his team.
"He is a pillar of the second one of England's most successful generations - we haven't had results like this for decades, and he is a key part of everything," said Southgate and praised his stopper's play three days earlier in the qualifiers against Ukraine (1:1).
What delighted the selector was the attitude of the English fans at "Hampden Park", who supported their stopper after the match.
