Jude Bellingham and Trent Alexander-Arnold shared an enthusiastic celebration after Bellingham scored England's first goal of Euro 2024. It was an unusual gesture, but it perfectly captured the joy and camaraderie among the players. Bellingham's goal, along with the winning goal by Real Madrid star Alexander-Arnold, secured a crucial but somewhat shaky victory against Serbia on Sunday night.
The 20-year-old Bellingham headed the ball into the net from a close-range cross by Bukayo Saka in the 13th minute, sending Three Lions fans into a frenzy in Gelsenkirchen. He then joined his teammates in a knee slide before performing his signature celebration - standing tall with his arms outstretched. But this time, he surprised everyone with a new move.
Bellingham and Alexander-Arnold embraced each other and then faced each other, kneeling down with their hands covering their faces. It was a curious sight, but Bellingham cleared up any confusion after the game. He explained that it was a tribute to one of the staff members who loves to make that face when he has no idea what's going on - a little inside joke among the "wolf crew."
Bellingham was named the player of the match, and he expressed his satisfaction with the game, despite it not being a flawless performance. He also took the opportunity to credit his incredible support system for his success. "Jude Bellingham is made up of amazing people. It's not just me. It's because I have such a great support network," he shared.
Reflecting on the game, Bellingham acknowledged that Serbia was a tough opponent, physically strong and imposing. But thanks to the excellent preparation by the staff, England was able to rise to the challenge and secure the win. "We try to keep to our own standards and do our own job. It's important that we got off to a good start. The mood inside the camp is positive, and we're ready for the next game," he said.
Bellingham also talked about his goal, explaining that he has been working on getting into the box and making wide runs, a skill he developed during his time at Madrid. He was pleased to carry his form into the Euros and contribute to the team's success. "It's a great start for me personally, and it's a confidence booster. But ultimately, the most important thing is to help the team get the win," he added.
As for Alexander-Arnold, he also broke out his signature celebration, and the two players shared a moment of celebration and solidarity on the field. It was a testament to the strong bond among the players, and it bodes well for England's chances in the tournament.
