Graeme Souness turned his back on Micah Richards after he questioned why Paul Pogba was smeared and Harry Kane wasn’t
Ensuing Manchester City’s 1-0 defeat to Tottenham, a bunch of pundits comprising of Micah Richards, Micah Richards and Gary Neville got together to immerse us in their wordily football knowledge. Dissecting the first round of fixtures, the trio talked about the set of events which had unraveled in Premier League 2021/22.
Micah Richards And Graeme Souness Spar As Harry Kane And Paul Pogba Comparisons Are Brought Up
In the midst of the discussions, Micah Richards decided to question the English media houses silence on Harry Kane’s antics. He drew comparison to Paul Pogba, questioning why the Manchester United player was berated for wanting to exit his club while Harry Kane wasn’t even quizzed over his decision to abstain from Tottenham’s training sessions.
Harry Kane in a bid to push through a move to Manchester City ended up skipping out on a raft of training sessions in the build up to his team’s opening encounter. Having only linked up with the team last Friday, Kane was altogether absent from Tottenham’s squad when the side took on City.
And Micah was quick to bring up the topic with him rightfully questioning the utter silence the English media has maintained regarding Kane. Till date, not one outlet has lambasted the English captain for his antics.
