Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton has said that he will not sit and cry after being left out of Thomas Tuchel’s England squad for the upcoming World Cup. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
Reflecting on the decision following Palace’s historic Conference League final win over Rayo Vallecano in Leipzig, Wharton stated that it was never a guaranteed spot for him at the World Cup.
The England international added that not making the final squad is not the end of the world.
His words, “That’s just part of football. It was never a guarantee I was going to go. I knew that.
When he called me, he just told me I wasn’t there. He said it was close. But yeah, like I said, that’s football. I’m not going to sit here and cry about it.
Still had two games for Palace to go. Obviously tonight being a massive one, I don’t really dwell on those things too much. It’s not the end of the world. I’m still young.
Hopefully there’s other tournaments and World Cups that I can go to in the future. But yeah, I was just focused on Palace and coming here and getting the win, which we have done. I’m glad with that and I’ve got a couple places booked to go [on holiday], but I’m just going to enjoy my summer and tonight.”
WOW.
