[Watch]: Jude Bellingham's incredible bicycle kick to draw England level against Slovakia
Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham was the hero as England escaped from a shock defeat to Slovakia in their EURO 2024 round of 16 clash.
He candidly acknowledged the scrutiny that comes with the territory, lamenting the challenge of speaking openly in press conferences where every word is dissected and judged.
"It’s very difficult when you talk in press conferences and interviews, to talk as openly as footballers want to because they’re always judged," he explained. Yet, for Bellingham, football itself is a sanctuary—a place where he finds release. "For me, football, being on the pitch, scoring goals and celebrating is my release," he confessed.
His celebration, characterized by unbridled joy and perhaps a hint of defiance, was more than just a reaction to scoring in a crucial match. "Maybe it was a message to a few people," he hinted.

The outpouring of emotion was a testament to the intense pressure he and his teammates face, particularly in knockout football where the stakes are highest.
"In international football, in knockout football, it’s an even worse feeling, because you’re 30 seconds from going home, having to listen to all the rubbish, feeling like you have let a nation of people down," Bellingham reflected. It's a sentiment shared by many who understand the razor-thin margins between success and disappointment in such competitions.
