The English star upset the experts by celebrating the goal

The stopper of the English national football team, Harry Maguire, caused outrage among experts by celebrating a goal in Friday’s qualifying match for the World Cup against Albania. After scoring, he slid to his knees, holding his fingers to his ears, as if to appease critics who questioned his performances at Manchester United. However, Maguire said he did not aim the gesture at anyone.

“He thinks he’ll quell critics, embarrassing. It’s a disgrace to Manchester United,” former Red Devils midfielder and captain Roy Keane told ITV. “You don’t have to do it. It leaves people bitter, they don’t like it. It just gives them a chance to wait for his poor performance to get into it,” added former English national team member Jermain Defoe.

“I did not aim the gesture at anyone. I am the captain of Manchester United, so I am understandably criticized when the team fails. I expect it,” said Maguire, who opened the score against Albania. “Going for the national team is a great feeling. We knew how important this match was and how important it was to score the first goal,” added the 28-year-old from Sheffield.

Albion coach Gareth Southgate was delighted with his performance. “Is he a Hulk Hogan fan? I don’t know what the celebration was supposed to mean. He’s a great player. At the European Championships, he got into the perfect line-up of the tournament,” said Southgate.

His selection beat Albania 5-0, scoring all the goals in the first half. Captain Harry Kane, who also assisted with Jordan Henderson’s shot, shone at Wembley with a hat-trick. England’s progress to the World Championships in Qatar should only be a formality. Group I is three points ahead of Poland and has a better goal difference of six goals. In addition, the qualifier will be completed on Monday by an outsider from San Marino, while Poland will challenge Hungary at home.
