Rafael van de Vaart has blasted Declan Rice following his performances for England at Euro 2024, insisting the midfielder is not worth the money Arsenal paid for him.
The 25-year-old started all seven of the Three Lions’ games at the European Championship, helping the side reach the final for a second successive time.
England were ultimately unsuccessful in their quest to win a first trophy since 1966, losing to Spain in the decider at Berlin on Sunday night. nico Williams and Mikel Oyarzabal scored either side of a Cole Palmer equaliser to clinch a 2-1 victory.
The team’s performances were generally uninspiring throughout the tournament, going behind in each of their knockout games and depending on late moments of magic to progress past inferior opposition.
