"How many goals did you score?"Arsenal MF counterattacks "I don't know why goals matter!"

English Premier League (EPL) Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice fired back at the 'big seniors', why?

Rice moved from West Ham to Arsenal this season. She has performed so well that she has been ranked as one of the best signings in the EPL this season. Currently, Arsenal sits at the top of the EPL. Some even said Rice was the last piece of the puzzle that Arsenal won.

Rice, however, had to face bizarre criticisms. He himself called it a ridiculous criticism. Those who criticized it were the seniors Roy Keane, Graham Sones, and Jamie Redknapp. There was one thing these seniors pointed out to Rice: goals. Rice's goal tally was not good enough, and he insisted on scoring more. Rice has six league goals this season. He scored 21 goals in 296 games and three in 50 appearances for England while playing for West Ham.

But Rice's position is a defensive midfielder. His position has nothing to do with goals. But seniors expected more from Rice. Does he want to become a greater player?

Rice responded to these seniors' comments. He countered with The Athletic, saying, "People like Keane, Souness, and Redknapp talked about my scoring ability. If you look at the number of goals they have scored, they have scored hundreds of goals in their careers."

"They are remembered for what they do as midfielders. Keane didn't score many goals as a midfielder, but he won a lot of titles for Manchester United. The same goes for Sones. So I don't know why midfield goals are important "I've never thought of scoring as my goal," he stressed.

As Rice said, the three seniors he criticized did not even exceed 100 goals in their careers. Keane has scored 87 goals in 676 games, including Nottingham Forest and Manchester United. Sonnes, who played for Middlesbrough and Liverpool, scored 96 goals in 706 games, and Redknapp, who played as a midfielder for Liverpool and Tottenham, scored 46 goals in 395 games. These are not the midfielders Rice can point to scoring more goals.
