Jude Bellingham’s Fury: England Star Lost It with Gareth Southgate in Heated Euro 2024 Moment
England’s Euro 2024 campaign came to a disappointing end on Sunday, as they fell to a 2-1 defeat against Spain. The loss marked a frustrating conclusion to the tournament for the Three Lions, and it seems that tensions were running high among the players and coaching staff.
According to ESPN’s Mark Ogden, Jude Bellingham was visibly frustrated with manager Gareth Southgate during the match. Ogden claimed that Bellingham "lost it" with Southgate on the side of the pitch, seemingly urging his manager to make a change.
The 20-year-old midfielder was reportedly unhappy with the team’s performance and felt that something needed to be done to turn the game around. However, despite his frustrations, Bellingham defended Southgate’s record and praised his manager’s ability to make him feel at home in the England squad.
"I’ve got nothing but respect for Gareth giving me my debut in the squad, made me feel very at home," Bellingham said. "He is someone who, I think, in the last year or two as well, our relationship’s kind of gone a little bit past football, where I feel like I can open up to him a lot and I think that speaks volumes of the kind of man he is as well."
Bellingham’s comments suggest that he has a close personal relationship with Southgate, which is likely to have helped him to develop into one of England’s most promising young players. Despite the team’s disappointing performance, Bellingham remains committed to the cause and is determined to win a major trophy for his manager.
"Whatever happens with Gareth, I’ll always respect him," Bellingham said. "If he stays, then I’ll be even more determined to win something for him because he deserves it. Sometimes the numbers and the kind of statistics, the records don’t lie, he’s been our most successful manager since 1966."
