Representing the English national team, "Liverpool" defender Joe Gomez had to experience one of the painful career moments on Thursday evening - he was booed by his own country's football fans.
J. Gomez appeared in the European Championship qualifying match against Montenegro after a substitution - he stepped onto the field instead of Mason Mount.
As J. Gomez stepped onto the field, booing was heard from the stands. Such a reaction was caused by a recent incident between J. Gomez and Raheem Sterling.
R. Sterling was not registered for some matches due to the conflict with the "Liverpool" defender, but in the eyes of the English fans, the main culprit was not the "Man City" representative, but the same J. Gomez.
After the match, England national team manager Gareth Southgate did not hide his disappointment: "I'm very sorry for Joe. He did nothing wrong to deserve such a reaction. No England player should ever be booed when wearing the national team jersey. All players are disappointed in what happened."
After the match, R. Sterling also expressed his opinion on his social media account, stating that he could not understand such behavior from the fans.
