England beat Netherlands 2-1 in the European Championship semi-final thanks to Ollie Watkins’ winning goal. After the match, England midfielder Jude Bellingham said in an interview that the final against Spain would be an interesting contest.
After the final whistle, Bellingham was still excited about the last-minute win when speaking to ITV. He said: “Ollie (Watkins) came on and won us the game. We are so grateful for him because I genuinely don’t know if I could have gone another 30 minutes in extra time. I’m so happy for Ollie, he came on and took his chance, I’m so, so proud of him, the whole team is buzzing for him, he was our hero.” On the criticism England received before the semi-final, Bellingham said: “When we’re not performing well, we get criticized, but the important thing is to build that belief, stick together and get the win. These moments are so good for bringing us together as a team and a family, now we’re going to the final.” About the final against Spain, Bellingham, who plays in La Liga, said: “Spain have been outstanding, playing really well, but it’s a one-off game, anything can happen. We’ll sit down and analyze them, I think it will be an interesting final against Spain.”
