After a brilliant start to the real Madrid -the best in the history of the club-, Jude Bellingham He has also made it into the English team with his excellent game against Italy. A performance that earned him the praise of his teammates, who were clear: “He’s the best.”

This is how he dropped it in the mixed zone at Wembley Harry Maguire, starter in Tuesday’s 3-1 victory over Italy. “No way,” replied the centre-back when asked if there was a better midfielder in the world than Stourbridge.

“I talk very welland Bellingham in recent years. Since he came and started training with the guys, you can see his mentality, his physique, which is incredible. For a boy to have a head on his shoulders and be able to deal with it is massive and you have to give him the credit he deserves. I know he is humble, because of what I did to him. He is happy and will help us a lot,” added Maguire, who also praised the Englishman’s versatility.

“Do you also want to play in my position?” center-back joke. “Jude can do everything. He will be a great, great player for England. I’m sure because he has a great team around him and a great family. I hope he continues this form in Madrid.”

Bellingham, who played 27 games for England, was the star of the match against Italy, where England sealed qualification for the 2024 Euro Cup, participating in the first two goals: he forced the penalty converted by Harry Kane and assisted Marcus Rashford to make it 2 -1. The Real Madrid player was selected as the best player of the match.

Rob Green, The goalkeeper who went on to play for England and now works as a commentator for the BBC, is more concise and concise. “Bellingham is better than everybody and he knows it.”

Jarrod Bowenof West Ham United, who watched the game from the bench, agreed with Maguire and assured that there is no better midfielder in the world than Bellingham.

“You see his level of energy, how he drives, his determination… Everything. He forced the penalty, he was involved in Rashford’s goal… He has been sensational.”

Gareth Southgate who will lead this team in the search for his second major international title, knows that in Bellingham England is better and that is why he has used him in midfield for two consecutive games, in a position discovered by Carlo Ancelotti for him at Real Madrid.

“His mentality is incredible,” Southgate said in an interview with Channel 4. “To show that level of maturity and humility at such a young age is incredible and we’re very lucky to have him.”

“He is a catalytic footballer. I think because of the way he deploys himself and how he plays on the field. He had that from the first day he arrived. In addition to the power of his game, that gives us a plus in tight situations when he can solve it. Also his confidence and his faith, and his desire to interact with the public, are very rare qualities in such a young player,” added the English coach .
