As the much-maligned centre-half prepares for the ultimate World Cup quarter-final match against France on Saturday, England midfielder Kalvin Phillips has backed teammate Harry Maguire.Manchester United defender Maguire has only played three games in the Premier League this season due to a combination of injury and the arrival of Argentine Lisandro Martinez, but he has been solid so far for England in Qatar, where he has played every game.It marks a significant improvement in fortunes for Maguire, who became the subject of a lot of jokes on social media last season, and I think he is one of the best defenders for a long time, particularly in tournaments, according to Phillips.Evidently, he has scored some very important goals as well, according to him.I think a lot of people think he is just the first one they look to because, I think, he is the first one that says it all if anything bad happens in the England team.

At this moment in time, I truly believe he is one of the best center halves in the game.Hes very composed on the field, one of the best central defenders you could have distributing the ball.You can also check out Harry's album, which you can find it here.Their relationship is also remarkable because they both know each other well and nurture each other.As of now, it is certainly the best centre-half pairing in the World Cup.Featured Video Of The DayFIFA World Cup: Usain Bolt explains Why Argentina is His Favorite Team.
