What Declan Rice said to Slovakia manager during fiery full-time exchange 'revealed'

What Declan Rice said to Slovakia manager during fiery full-time exchange 'revealed'

Declan Rice got into a heated exchange with Francesco Calzona after last night's Euros match

For fans of the Three Lions, last night's match between England and Slovakia was a stressful one to say the least.

At the end of the 90, Southgate's men were behind following Ivan Schranz's goal for Slovakia during the first half.

There were just six minutes of injury time left for England to score or they'd be knocked out of the Euros.

Enter Jude Bellingham - with less than two minutes on the clock, the midfielder scored a last-minute equaliser to take the match into extra time.

And then, of course, Harry Kane banged another into the net and the Three Lions were through to the quarterfinals.

But the drama wasn't over just yet.

As players celebrated and England fans who'd travelled out to Germany for the match broke out into 'Sweet Caroline,' Slovakia manager Francesco Calzona did not appear to be happy.

The ex-Napoli boss stormed onto the pitch to confront the match officials to protest against a decision.

But, as Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice approached Calzona to try and speak to him, the manager pushed him in the chest.

Another member of coaching staff could also be seen pushing the star away.

At this point, Rice appeared to become infuriated and had to be held back by team-mates Ivan Toney, Aaron Ramsdale and Ezri Konsa as he shouted angrily at the Slovakia manager.

And now, expert lipreader Jeremy Freeman has said what he believes Rice had said in the heated moment.

Freeman claimed to DailyMail.com that Rice had allegedly said: "Shut up, p****, oi, shut up, you bald c***."

Calzona later revealed that Rice was 'supposed to go to the referees and leave' but didn't.

"Rice was supposed to go to the referees and leave," he said. "I had to speak to the refs and he wasn't leaving, he carried on.

"But then he apologised and it was all fine. I didn't like the way the England team were wasting time and not punished."

LADbible has contacted Rice's reps for comment.

Jude Bellingham also face some criticism after he made an x-rated gesture after scoring.

Walking back up the pitch alongside captain Harry Kane, Bellingham seemed to turn to the benches, wipe his mouth and then gesture a wide hand in and out towards his crotch.

But, while users on X demanded he 'has to get punished for this' and called the gesture 'horrible,' the player has since offered an explanation.

Using a yawn and red cross emojis, the star wrote: "An inside joke gesture towards some close friends who were at the game.

"Nothing but respect for how that Slovakia team played tonight."
