It was not a good start for the English national team, who today played their first friendly in preparation for Euro 2020. What worries, besides Alexnder-Arnold’s injury, is the public behavior, especially in view of the European Championships and the matches that will be played at Wembley. It should have been a party, with England returning to play in front of the fans (8000 at Riverside Stadium in Middlesbrough), but it ishowling honors addressed to the 22 players as they knelt on the pitch before the kick-off, as a sign of solidarity with the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement, make it clear that the appeals against the racism and every form of intolerance has not been accepted by everyone. After the match, the coach Southgate regretted it.
