Sharing with NOS, the Dutch legend did not hesitate to harshly criticize Declan Rice’s performance in the EURO 2024 final.

Declan Rice is one of the most important players for the England team at the moment. At EURO 2024, the Arsenal player played all 7 matches and made certain contributions to the “Three Lions”.

Declan Rice played relatively well in the EURO 2024 final.

However, after Gareth Southgate and his team lost 1-2 to Spain in the final, the 1999-born star was harshly criticized on television by Dutch football legend Rafael van der Vaart.

Speaking to NOS, he said: ” 100 million euros for Declan Rice. What did he do? Useless . He tried to win the ball back but passed it back to John Stones. If you are really worth 100 million euros, you have to be able to pass the ball forward .”

Declan Rice was heavily criticised by Rafael van der Vaart.

Rafael van der Vaart’s harsh criticism of Declan Rice may surprise many people, as this player seemed to be a good player in the “Three Lions” midfield in the EURO 2024 final.
