Micah Richards criticized England manager Gareth Southgate for misusing Phil Foden in the recent match against Brazil. Foden was played wide on the right, a position that Richards felt did not showcase Foden’s abilities effectively. The game ended in a 1-0 defeat for England, with Foden struggling to make an impact in his position on the right.
Despite Brazil’s solid defensive setup under new manager Dorival Junior, England’s performance was lackluster and they struggled to create chances. Richards believed that Foden should have been deployed in a more central role, where he could have had more influence on the game. Playing out on the right seemed to limit Foden’s effectiveness, especially against a team like Brazil known for their attacking prowess.
Richards suggested that Southgate missed an opportunity to utilize Foden’s talents properly by playing him out of position. Foden is known for his creativity and ability to play between the lines, qualities that could have been more beneficial in a central role against a team like Brazil. Moving forward, it is hoped that Southgate will consider Foden’s preferred central role for the national team to maximize his impact on the field.
