After England’s dramatic victory against Slovakia in the round of 16 of Euro 2024, midfielder Jude Bellingham gave an emotional statement, sharing his feelings about this important moment.
Bellingham showed an extraordinary performance, contributing both in defense and attack, and was named ‘Player of the Match.’
The midfielder scored a goal in the fifth minute of extra time to send the match into overtime, where the English won thanks to Harry Kane’s goal. “Playing for England is a wonderful thing, but it’s also a lot of pressure. Being on the field and scoring goals for me is a relief, it’s a very happy moment.”
“We played well, except for their goal. We got into good situations and could have been more clinical, but the main thing we showed was character.”
“There were 20 or 30 seconds left, and we were out of the European Championship, and now the mood has a big change. It’s a big moment, but it’s a long tournament and we’ll only know if we continue and win the cup. We’ll see in the next two weeks how important this goal was,” said Bellingham.
The Real Madrid midfielder had four duels won, three decisive tackles, one key pass, and one goal against Slovakia.
With this victory, England advances to the quarter-finals of Euro 2024 and will face Switzerland.
