Spain captain Rodri criticised Scotland’s “rubbish” approach to football after his team were on the end of a Hampden defeat in the Euro 2024 qualifiers...
The Manchester City player accused Scotland of time-wasting and provocation after Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominayRodri told Viaplay Sports: “It’s the way they play. You have to respect at the end but for me it’s a bit rubbish because it’s always wasting time. They provoke you and they always fall.
“It was frustrating because we want to win and it’s difficult because they waste time, waste time. But it is what it is. They have their weapons and we have our weapons and we will learn for the next time.” When asked whether his own team were guilty of going down too easily, the midfielder said: “No, we want to go into battle and we always fight but this is not about fighting. It’s about wasting time, four or five players on the floor, these kind of situations.”“I feel everyone on the pitch was at it, diving around, making the game slow,” he said.“It was a difficult night for the referee because everyone was making the most of everything.
