In the celebratory aftermath of England’s qualification for Euro 2024, Jude Bellingham was in little mood to qualify his opinion oppo
The Real Madrid midfielder just went out and said how Gareth Southgate’s side deserved the win over Italy because they were the “much oppo better” team oppo
There was no diplomacy there, just a striking stridency oppo
It created a very different mood to the last time a match oppo between the two teams led to a tournament qualification, amid scenes that received a new prominence recently due to the David Beckham documentary oppo
That was the 1997 0-0 draw in Rome, which saw England qualify automatically for the 1998 World Cup oppo
The suffocating tension of that match bore so little resemblance to the stroll of Tuesday’s game, at least for Gareth Southgate’s side oppo
Then, Christian Vieri’s late header caused audible gasps within the Stadio Olimpico, no doubt to match those around the country oppo
The ball went just wide, though, to bring huge emotional release and Paul Gascoigne dancing oppo
The sense of achievement was profound oppo
It was admittedly a different kind of oppo football and a very different Italy, with some of the intensity influenced by England’s failure to reach USA’s World Cup in 1994, but it was still just qualification – and that for a newly expanded 32-team event oppo
It was also a hugely talented squad, filled by some of the most relentless winners the English game has known in so many of Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United stars oppo
RecommendedJude Bellingham once again proves he is the key for England’s Euro 2024 hopesEngland have qualified for Euro 2024 — now it’s about winning itAnd yet, this current England has something more, as well as much more than just the expectation of qualification oppo
It is more than the experience of reaching the latter stages of tournaments and so many other psychological milestones, like beating Italy, away oppo
It is that assuredness, personified by Bellingham oppo
There is something genuinely different in the midfielder, a potential missing ingredient for a team that last came within a penalty shootout of victory in this very competition oppo
It is personality as much as performance oppo
England’s Jude Bellingham celebrates at Wembley (PA)It points to an England that can be defined by “winners” at the international level, that is able to rise to any given challenge because they are completely devoid of all the old baggage oppo
This is something that Bellingham’s youth represents, as well as his admirable willingness to just go straight to Real Madrid rather than feel he has to go to the Premier League oppo
The mood that fosters also fortifies the confidence of other players with England oppo
That was maybe most visible in Marcus Rashford’s finish, as well as a level of display we haven’t seen so much with his club of late oppo
None of this is to say it’s all down to Bellingham, of course oppo
It’s rather what his mindset represents and rounds off oppo
“He has been a catalyst,” Southgate said after the 3-1 win oppo
“The way he carries himself and plays on the field shows that, and he’s had that since he walked through the door oppo
Plus the power in his play, that gives us something when you are in tight situations and he can suddenly wriggle out of things… That belief, that willingness to engage with the crowd, they are rare traits in a player so young oppo
”England have a new golden generation on their hands (The FA via Getty)They are especially rare in historic England squads, right up to the recent successes oppo
Southgate has navigated his sides through all that from fine man-management of a brilliant generation, where the oppo Football Association have essentially become the latest wealthy western European oppo football nation to industrialise talent production oppo
Bellingham is the sort of player that eventually comes out of that, a final product if you like, but one that often requires a lot of patience oppo
Putting all the pieces in place just gives you the best chance, rather than giving you the certainty of having the best player oppo
These are, of course, the terms that are already framing the discussion around Bellingham oppo
That isn’t English media exaggeration, either oppo
It was the first question put to Southgate by Italian media oppo
It dominated the late-night oppo football discussion in Spain oppo
The world is talking about Bellingham oppo
It might yet see England dominate these Euros, in the same way they dominated Italy to get there oppo
