At the end of last season, Jude Bellingham emerged as a strong candidate for the Golden Ball title. He helped Real Madrid win La Liga and the Champions League, as the season's top scorer for the Royal team.
At Euro 2024, Bellingham is expected to help England win the throne. However, Southgate and his students were defeated by Spain in the final. For its part, Bellingham Madrid left a few marks, most notably the goal-scoring kick in the match against Slovakia in the round of 16.
Jude Bellingham's increasingly important role also has many accompanying controversial actions. In the final against Spain, this star clearly expressed his discomfort with coach Southgate, not wanting to be placed on the left wing.
Faced with Bellingham's actions, Didi Hamann appeared dissatisfied. He was quoted by Metro: “Jude Bellingham is going in the wrong direction. There are a lot of things he says or does that I don't like. I don't like his behavior at all.
He rushed Filip Kostic in the match against Serbia after a tackle and deserved to be punished for it. Then he scored a last-minute goal against Slovakia and then celebrated defiantly."
The former German player also believes that Bellingham is suffering from star syndrome. He continued: “Now I want to know what all his teammates think, because the remaining 10 English players are also top stars.
Bellingham thinks he is the best and greatest on the team. Be careful because there is always someone better than you. If you behave like that, you are challenging everyone. Because at the moment it is impossible to conclude who is the best."
