Bukayo Saka Silence’ Critics After Playing 3 Different Positions in One Match for England

Arsenal star boy or better known as little Chilli by the Gunners once again silenced his critics and left them tongue wagging after playing three different positions in one match in the EURO 2024.

Gareth Southgate needed the versatility of Bukayo Saka for his England team to advance to the next stage of the EURO 2024. England reached the quarter finals of the campaign after their dramatic 2-1 win against Slovakia.

Bukayo Saka being versatile, was deployed to play at the Left back position after Kieran Trippier got injured. This meant that Cole Palmer who was a substitute was given the position that Bukayo Saka started as a right winger.

Bukayo Saka executed his role very well and at some point he also played as a right wing back. He was selfless and he was indeed playing for the flag of his Nation. Many people who have been criticizing Bukayo Saka were silenced by the performance of the young player.

He displayed a lot of maturity and showed that he is just one call away if needed to fill any position. He showed how flexible he was and how important he is to the team. He played the full 120minutes and Gareth Southgate did not even think of substituting him because of what he brings to the table for the English National team on the pitch.

Some Arsenal fans are however saying that it is time for Gareth Southgate to rest Bukayo Saka because the lad has been playing consistently now for two straight years for country and club. They feel like he will wear out and have some burn outs.

They want their star boy to be rested so that Cole Palmer can also get some substantial playing time and boost his confidence in the National team. They just need Bukayo Saka to be fit for the next coming season.
