Jude Bellingham responds to Harry Kane

Beaten by Greece at Wembley last month, England rectified the situation by winning on Hellenic soil (0-3) this Thursday, as part of the 5th day of the League of Nations. And this, despite the many absent from this selection for this gathering. As a reminder, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, Cole Palmer, Levi Colwill, Phil Foden, Jack Grealish and Aaron Ramsdale all had to withdraw from this international break, affected by injuries. A massacre which left doubt surrounding the motivations of some to play for the selection. “ It’s a shame. It’s a difficult time of the season. I don’t really like it, to be completely honest. I think England comes before any club situation », declared Harry Kane in particular.

Questioned after the victory of Three LionsJude Bellingham wanted to put an end to this controversy. “ There has been a lot of talk about players withdrawing from the match. There was a lot of talk about the players who weren’t there, but I think the ones who came were extraordinary. Curtis [Jones] made his debut, he scored, he played the way he did, it’s incredible. I’m very proud of the boys tonight. There would have been a million and a million excuses if we hadn’t played well or gotten over the line, but the boys came out and did their job very professionally. We’re back in the lead, where we belong », he indicated in an interview for the channel ITV.
