Former Champions League winner Didi Hamann has recently expressed concern for one of England's rising stars, Jude Bellingham. Hamann believes that Bellingham needs to change his behavior in order to avoid falling into a negative path following the Euro 2024 tournament.
Bellingham had an impressive debut season with Real Madrid, helping the team win both the La Liga and Champions League titles. However, despite starting in all seven games for England at the Euros, the 21-year-old was unable to prevent his team from falling short in the final against Spain in Berlin. While Bellingham did make some significant contributions, such as scoring England's first goal of the tournament and a dramatic equalizer against Slovakia, he struggled to consistently influence games.
There were also reports of Bellingham being unhappy with his position on the left wing, as well as an incident where he allegedly lost his temper with England's manager Gareth Southgate during the final match. Hamann believes that these actions reflect a concerning attitude from Bellingham and that he needs to be cautious with his behavior.
"Jude Bellingham is currently heading down the wrong path," Hamann stated in an interview with TopOffshoreSportsBooks. "Some of the comments he has made, including criticizing a referee in Germany and getting away with just a fine, are not things I like to see. He also had some questionable behavior on the field, such as barging into an opponent and then boasting after scoring a goal."
The former German international also raised the question of what Bellingham's teammates may think of his behavior. "He seems to have the mentality that he is the best and most important player on the team, and that can be dangerous. You always have to remember that there is someone bigger and better than you. If you continue to behave in this way, you may end up facing consequences, and right now, I think the jury is still out on Bellingham."
Following England's defeat in the final, Bellingham took to Instagram to reflect on the team's journey and thank Southgate, who announced his departure from the team. Bellingham stated, "I would like to thank Gareth and his staff for the amazing memories during his time as manager. As a fan turned team member, it has been an emotional rollercoaster, and I am grateful for the hope and joy that he has brought back to our country. Gareth is not only an exceptional coach but also a remarkable human being. Thank you for everything, and all the best for your next chapter, Gaffer."
