Football News Update: Maupay Sets Sights on Euro 2024 Taunts
Everton striker Neal Maupay, known for his mischievous antics, has already set his sights on trolling England should they face France at Euro 2024. Despite missing out on a call-up to the French national team, the Premier League’s self-proclaimed “biggest s***house” is gearing up to be active on social media during the tournament.
Maupay, who has previously mocked James Maddison’s celebration against Tottenham, is already preparing a few memes to unleash on the England squad, should the Three Lions progress to the knockout stages and meet Les Bleus. The Everton striker is aware of the potential semi-final clash, joking that he’ll have to “be careful” when watching the game in England, not wanting to be “run down by 20 England fans.”
“I’ll have to be careful when watching the game in England, don’t want to be run down by 20 England fans.”
When discussing the England squad, Maupay was not surprised to see Jack Grealish miss out on Gareth Southgate’s final 26-man roster. The Frenchman acknowledged the depth of talent in the England setup, stating that with “30 or 35 top players,” some inevitably have to miss out, and Grealish was not in his “best form” compared to the likes of Cole Palmer and Phil Foden.
On the French national team, Maupay was slightly surprised to see N’Golo Kante included, as the Chelsea midfielder has not been a regular call-up in recent years. However, the Everton striker praised Kante’s qualities, highlighting his importance as a “top player” and a “good teammate” who always performs his duties for the team.
