Jude Bellingham’s superb overhead kick, scored in injury time on Sunday in the Euro 2024 round of 16 match against Slovakia (2-1 aet), undoubtedly saved Ed Sheeran’s visit to the England team’s base camp.
Because the day after this extremely sluggish success, which the pop star had witnessed from the stands of the Veltins-Arena based in Gelsenkirchen, the British singer visited the Three Lions at their base camp.
A great football fan and patron of Ipswich Town, promoted to the Premier League last May after a 22-year absence, the 33-year-old artist gave a private concert to captain Harry Kane and all the England players and staff.
Captured by several mobile phones, this moment of communion between Ed Sheeran – a regular on visits to the Three Lions – and the men of coach Gareth Southgate quickly went viral on social networks.
The footage shows the footballers excited and captivated by the singer who has sold tens of millions of albums, particularly when he performed his hit “The A-Team”.
Will this moment of relaxation have allowed the English selection to get back on track for the quarter-final against the Swiss team which awaits them on Saturday (kick-off at 6 p.m.) in Düsseldorf?
