England defender John Stones has heaped praise on Marc Guehi’s defensive prowess for the team in the ongoing Euro 2024.
Recall that the two central defenders are responsible for keeping things tight at the back for the Three Lions at Euro 2024.
However, in an interview with The Mirror, the Manchester City star stated that Guehi’s has been incredible for England in the absence of injured Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw.
“For him (Guehi) to come in, not having felt the feelings around tournament football and all the different emotions that come with it, he has handled it so well with his performances,” said Stones to reporters.
“I said to him, ‘When we’re in this and whoever we’re playing with, I’m your right arm, you’re my left arm, we do this together. I’ve got your back’.
“He’s bought into that. I believe massively in partnerships that you do it all together, and we’ve had two games together and conceded in the last one, but sometimes you can’t really do much about a great strike. Marc’s been incredible. He’s handled the occasions so well.”
