Jude, who is having a meteoric start to the season with Madrid, has shown his most discreet side in England’s poor draw against Ukraine
He was relieved in the 66th minute by Southgate and left the field in Poland with an unfriendly face.
Poor draw for England against Ukraine on Polish soil. The Ukrainian team, ‘banished’ to the neighboring country due to the Russian invasion of its territory, has earned a valuable draw in the match corresponding to the qualification for the Euro Cup. On the British side, star Jude Bellingham has not shone. Quite the opposite, in fact.
Starting and with the ’10’ on his back, Gareth Southgate has given the young Madrid player stripes. He has just starred in a truly impressive first stretch with the white club. And, logically, there were high expectations in the Tarczynski Arena in Wroclaw. Even many banners from the Ukrainian fans dedicated to this young prodigy.
RELIEVED IN THE 66′
The brand new signing from Real Madrid ended up being replaced by Marcus Rashford after 66 minutes of the game. He had some opportunities in the first half and started the second with a header inside the area that was blocked by the rival goalkeeper.
After Zinchenko’s initial goal, which punished the English lack of punch, in the 40th minute Kyle Walker scored the final 1-1. Young Jude’s performance will not exactly go down in history.
