ESPN FC
White Goes From Hero to Villain

So he's kind of put that on his back, whether it was his fault or a coach's fault or a fallout of personalities with others, it's on his back.

ESPN FC
White Goes From Hero to Villain

He chose to walk out, he chose not to play and he'll have to deal with the consequences.

ESPN FC
White Goes From Hero to Villain

But listen,

ESPN FC
White Goes From Hero to Villain

He's not the first player at international football that's been booed and is going to get booed.

ESPN FC
White Goes From Hero to Villain

It's nothing new.

ESPN FC
White Goes From Hero to Villain

what you did so he's going to have a long journey try to get them on his back again so because if not they always will remind him of what he uh his situation was gary mcallister missed a penalty at wembley in euro 96 huge game scotland england david seaman saved it two years later he was my captain for scotland brilliant player great player gary and they booed him at celtic park and an international and he i don't think he ever really got over it in the end i mean he was getting near sort of retirement anyway

ESPN FC

But that's what I'm saying with some of these supporters.

ESPN FC
White Goes From Hero to Villain

They just, you know, they don't forget and sometimes they go over the top and when you put a target in your back, and Gary didn't because he missed the penalty and that could happen, but because it was England, fans turned.

And Ben, listen, as a player you have to accept that.

ESPN FC
White Goes From Hero to Villain

Right.

ESPN FC
White Goes From Hero to Villain

You've got to accept it.

ESPN FC
White Goes From Hero to Villain

If you've made a big decision, particularly for your country or your club,

ESPN FC
White Goes From Hero to Villain

You know, if you go to your club and say, I want to leave, don't like this club, don't like the manager, I want to leave, and it's public, which most things are now, the chances are on a Saturday at home, you're going to get booed.

ESPN FC
White Goes From Hero to Villain

Because you've made a stance.

ESPN FC
White Goes From Hero to Villain

And Ben White made a stance, and he'll have to get on with it.

ESPN FC
White Goes From Hero to Villain

And there has been a big furore about him coming back.

ESPN FC
White Goes From Hero to Villain

And that's not Thomas... JΓΌrgen's right, that's not Thomas Tuchel's issue, whatever happened before.

ESPN FC
White Goes From Hero to Villain

However, a lot of the headlines, as you well know, have been around Trent Alexander-Arnold.

ESPN FC
White Goes From Hero to Villain

His exclusion.

ESPN FC
White Goes From Hero to Villain

So they now have a player coming back who didn't want to be part of it and a player has been left out who the fans know is a very talented player.
