"As team-mates we are always there to support him. I have been through it myself, but that is part and parcel of being an England player. Some of the fans probably don't even know why they are booing, they listen to what is being said in the media, and a lot of the time what the media says isn't true."

Ben White faced booing from fans during his return to the England squad after a previous fallout. Despite the jeers, he scored his first international goal but conceded a late penalty that led to a draw against Uruguay. England manager Thomas Tuchel expressed disappointment over the crowd's reaction. Jordan Henderson, who experienced similar treatment, offered support to White, highlighting that fans may not fully understand the context behind players' situations and the impact of media narratives on public perception.
