England are in a deadlock, but luckily Bellingham is still there.

Jude Bellingham's moment of flying high into Slovakia's net in the 90+5 minute came from a throw-in. The ball was fed in from the wing for Marc Guehi to head into the wall, then Bellingham created one of England's best goals in EURO history.

But the reality is that before Bellingham scored, England had already fed the ball into the air many times. Against Slovakia's solid defense, England mainly played on the wing, then crossed the ball inside to try to get lucky. Harry Kane and his teammates jumped high many times, but to no avail.

Jude Bellingham's impressive scoring moment

England's equalizer actually came from a somewhat lucky move. Perhaps no coach could have predicted that a player would make a beautiful overhead kick like Bellingham did.

It was a moment when England were just 10 minutes away from home. The tense atmosphere, the pressure, the lack of clear chances... all of these adversities only added to the glory of Bellingham's goal.

The Real Madrid superstar created a moment that, besides him, hardly any other "Three Lions" player was sober and brave enough to make a crazy choice, which if failed, would have almost ended England's comeback.

"We made a mistake just a little bit, a few centimeters off. But with a player who plays for Real Madrid (like Bellingham), you will be punished," coach Francesco Calzona affirmed.

Jude Bellingham came to EURO 2024 with "huge" expectations, even though he just turned 21 a day ago. Bellingham is not only the youngest star of EURO. He is also a Champions League and La Liga champion, a mainstay of the European king Real Madrid and almost won the domestic top scorer title in his first season.

Bellingham shines to erase doubts

Bellingham also had a dream start to the EURO when he headed the ball into the net against Serbia, helping England win 1-0. However, after that, despite playing the full 90 minutes, the former Birmingham City midfielder only averaged 7.14 (against Denmark) and 6.32 (against Slovenia).

Bellingham is not "in sync" with the surrounding satellites such as Phil Foden, Bukayo Saka or Harry Kane. The player born in 2003 is considered to be slow in developing the ball, has poor coordination and does not clearly define his position.

For example, in the match against Slovenia, Bellingham's main statistics were 3 zeros: no goals, no assists, no shots, and no chances created.

However, it is important to understand that Bellingham’s decline comes from the overall disarray of the England squad. Coach Southgate has at his disposal 23 players from many different schools, independent personalities and trained with very different philosophies at the club.

Putting together a team of stars has been a problem for many England coaches over the past 60 years. Coach Southgate is to blame, but also pitiful because he has made the same mistake that has no solution.

However, the difference between Southgate and Fabio Capello, Roy Hodgson or Sven-Goran Eriksson before is that he does not have to coach "paper tigers" with real value far less than reputation, but has truly good and talented players.

England have enough strength for coach Southgate to calculate

The moment Bellingham made the most difficult choice (crouching for the ball) at the most difficult moment (the penultimate minute of injury time) is the dividing line between a good player and an outstanding player.

Good players can still create great moments, when they are really relaxed in their mind. Great players can create history at any time.

Just like the way Bellingham coolly scored a double against Barcelona, ​​helping Real Madrid bring down the Nou Camp fortress, or when the 21-year-old midfielder swung the ball to quickly pass for Vinicius Jr to score the decisive goal in this season's Champions League final.

The more difficult the situation, the more arrogant and explosive Bellingham becomes. It is not easy to find a player with such character at the age of 21.

"I don't change much because I know I have players like Bellingham and Kane. When you watch them play, you wonder why they can do that," said coach Southgate.

England played poorly against Slovakia, but according to Bellingham, even if they hit rock bottom, the Three Lions can still come back. Because they still have someone to hope for. Like Bellingham.
