Declan Rice and Jack Grealish was booed this Saturday at the Aviva Stadium by fans of Irelanda team they represented in the lower categories, although they later chose to play with the full England. Matters of football and destiny, is the aforementioned midfielder of Arsenal and the end of City of Manchester who scored the goals in Dublin that gave the ‘pros’ team victory over the green team in a match of the biggest rivalry (0-2) in group 2 of League B of the Nations League.
So many England as Ireland They had a new coach. Although in a temporary capacity, Lee Carsleyformer Irish international, easing up Gareth Southgate in front of Englandwhile the Icelandic Heimir Hallgrímsson takes over John I’Shea at the bank Republic of Ireland.
The ‘this is Carsley’ began to triumph for Englandlost in the last two Euro Cup finals, against Italy through sanctions in the 2020 game (played in 2021 due to the pandemic) and against Spain in Germany 2024.
England’s new coach was criticized for not singing the anthem and was embroiled in the anecdote of, before the match, making the mistake of sitting on the Ireland bench, but the truth is that his period began with success. Among the absences of the ‘pros’, Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden.
Jordan Pickford, the England goalkeeper, only responded with a fine save in an Irish chance as Declan Rice put England ahead. Trent Alexander-Arnold sent in Anthony Gordon, whose shot was deflected by Ireland goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher. Harry Kane tried to take advantage of it, but Rice eventually took advantage of the loose ball to score with his right foot in the 11th minute. The Arsenal midfielder, who had to listen to derogatory chants, did not celebrate at purpose.
The second English goal came from Grealish and the ‘citizen’, another booed at the Aviva Stadium, celebrated. Grealish, back in the national team after Southgate left him out of the squad for Euro 2024, took advantage of a ball sent to him by Declan Rice. This is an England with a more fluid game than Southgate, with more freedom.
Ireland improved in the second half, but England were always comfortable in the match. Kelleher responded with a fine save from a Jarrod Bowen chance. The greens lack the success to at least close the gap against a historic rival.
