Former Sweden striker, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, has hit out at Noni Madueke while also hailing Jude Bellingham after England’s World Cup quarter-final 2-1 win against Norway on Saturday.
Ibrahimovic said Madueke made the wrong decision during the encounter against Norway, as he also lauded Bellingham, insisting that the Real Madrid midfielder was the most active player for Thomas Tuchel’s side.
“Jude Bellingham has been the most active player for England,” Ibrahimovic told Fox Sports.
“But I think they are playing with one player less so far, Madueke has been on the pitch, I have to say. Every time he gets the ball, he makes the wrong decision, and he’s walking on the pitch.
“If I am Tuchel, I change him because he’s done nothing this first 45.
“Even the hydration break didn’t help him. He’s played, but he’s not started every game; they [England] started with one guy less.”
Bellingham’s brace ensured England eliminated Norway from the competition to set up a semi-final clash against England.
