According to AS, England manager Gareth Southgate believes that Jude Bellingham is under too much pressure and he urged the media to stop focusing on him alone.
In England’s opening match against Serbia, Bellingham scored the only goal of the game for England. The Three Lions eventually secured a successful start. Compared to Bellingham’s decisive goal, the highly anticipated Phil Foden had a lackluster performance, and Harry Kane also had a disappointing display. Bellingham joined Real Madrid last season and achieved remarkable success. He was named the league’s best player at the end of the season and helped Real Madrid win the league and Champions League titles.
Southgate believes that the media is placing too much attention on Bellingham, which is putting too much pressure on him. Therefore, when facing the media, the England manager stated: “We’ve had a lot of brilliant players over the last few years. We’ve got them now. It’s not all about Jude Bellingham, it’s about everyone contributing. The team’s success isn’t just about him, it’s not all on his shoulders.”
On June 21st, England will face their second group stage opponent, Denmark. Denmark was held to a draw by Slovenia in their first match. If England win, they will secure a spot in the knockout stage.
