Raphael van der Vaart unleashed a stunning onslaught on an England player after their humiliating loss to Spain in the UEFA Euro 2024 final. Spain won the European Championship with a 2-1 victory over England. Following the final whistle, England supporters took to social media to voice their displeasure, even though Mikel Oyarzabal grabbed a late winner.
Following the outcome, Van der Vaart expressed his opinions about the match involving Spain and England, demonstrating that he wasn't holding back. He attacked Declan Rice viciously, branding him "useless" in a biting critique on Dutch television. Under Mikel Arteta this past season, the Arsenal player was crucial to England's success and started every match of the UEFA Euro 2024.
He said, “€100M for Declan Rice. What does he do? He comes to collect a ball only to pass it back to John Stones. He is useless," he exclaimed. "If you are truly worth €100M, then you should be able to play a ball forward."
Van van Vaart also mentioned Jude Bellingham, who assisted Cole Palmer in scoring the equalizer. The former star of the Premier League questioned his ability to play at number ten.
The former Tottenham Hotspur striker said, "Jude Bellingham is not someone who's there for the smooth touches, he's just a strong lad who keeps going 90 minutes long. The number 10 on his back is debatable. Sure, he can wear a number 10, but for me he is not a number 10."
Who won the prestigious individual accolades at the UEFA Euro 2024?
Rodri was named Player of the Tournament, and Lamine Yamal was named Young Player of the Tournament. Mike Maignan of France won the Golden Glove after recording four perfect games.
If neither Dani Olmo nor Harry Kane scores a goal in the championship game, six players will receive the Golden Boot for Euro 2024. Six players currently hold the top scoring spot: Harry Kane of England; Cody Gakpo of the Netherlands; Jamal Musiala of Germany; Ivan Schranz of Slovakia; Dani Olmo of Spain; and Georges Mikautadze of Georgia.
