Manuel Akanji, who has accused his “friends” in the UK of demeaning his nation, is driven to defeat England.
The defender for Manchester City, Akanji, has set the spark for Saturday’s quarterfinal matchup with the country he now calls home.
He remarked, “I have a lot of friends there, and sometimes they talk [about] us [as] a little bit small.” Some of them, but not all of them. I thus hope that we will succeed.
The 28-year-old said, “Not yet, no,” when asked if he had spoken to any of them. We have conversed via group chat, but not in person.
Additionally, he downplayed reports that the Netherlands and England were drawn into the “easier” part of the knockout stage.
