Bellingham scored twice in consecutive matches, helping England advance to the semi-finals. Football legends such as Lineker praised him highly.
Richards: "Bellingham scored twice to beat Norway, who else could it be? He is a top player, he has this talent by nature, doesn't he? Some people have this quality, but his talent is exceptional. Very few people have this ability, but he does. Harry Kane also has it. He is a true world-class star."
Lineker: "I would even venture to say that he has a great chance to become, or eventually become, the greatest player in England's history. To be able to perform at such a young age and to single-handedly carry England through difficult times is the mark of a superstar. I find it incredible, Joe. Everything he has done is amazing."
Joe Kerr: "That's right, he takes responsibility in every aspect of the game. You see him leading the pressing when he's off the ball, and once the team gets the ball, the opponent simply can't contain him. I used to play number 10, and I'm used to dropping back to receive the ball and looking for gaps in the defense. I'm not good at making forward runs to attack behind the defense. I've tried running like that before, but it was mostly just symbolic running, just for show. After all, you have to do it to create space for your teammates, but every time he runs, he has a clear goal."
Gary, you just asked if he could become England's greatest player of all time. At this stage, it's hard to refute that. Considering all his abilities, he's actually the most complete player. I greatly admire Glenn Hoddle. Without a doubt, Hoddle is an England legend, but Hoddle didn't have Jude's running ability. That's true, but Jude could deliver passes comparable to Hoddle's. Well, you can't say the two are exactly the same. In short, a team that possesses such a rare talent always has a chance to win. He is a superstar, without a doubt.
