Two years later… Bellingham opens England’s failure file

England star Jude Bellingham has caused a stir after he publicly admitted that conditions were not good behind the scenes in England’s camp outside the green box during Euro 2024.

The “Real” star added: “We didn’t play well at all, so even when we won we didn’t feel happy and satisfied like we should have. You have to have that ferocious mentality and desire to win, but the nature of football makes winning come quickly and we should have kept more of those happy moments.”

“I think we’ve learned from that experience now and we know very well that the player who scores the winning goal in a World Cup final is not always the star you bet on, so everyone has to be ready and every player has to feel loved, valued and an integral part of the team, and most importantly, enjoy the journey.”

England miraculously survived Euro 2024 thanks to Bellingham’s last-gasp double against Slovakia in the round of 16, before edging out Switzerland on penalties and then beating the Netherlands with a decisive goal in the semi-finals. Although the goal against Slovakia remains one of the most important moments in history, Bellingham admitted that the memory made him uncomfortable, saying: a moment that shakes the very foundations of English football.”
