Why is Zaha annoyed with Southgate?

t is still not completely clear why Wilfried Zaha (left) feels so offended by Gareth Southgate’s comments on his desire to reject England. “If you don’t feel that internal 100 per cent passion for England, then I’m not sure it’s for me to sell that to you,” Southgate said. “It should be your desire to do it.” Zaha’s statement asserted that his “‘desire’ or ‘passion’ should never have been publicly questioned”. But Southgate was talking in relation to Zaha’s attitude towards England, and nothing else. No one doubts he feels strongly about the Ivory Coast. As ever with these arguments over nothing, you wonder whether there is a deeper concealed reason for all the angst.
