‘We got some things wrong’ – Bellingham says there are lessons to be learned from Euro 2024 for England | OneFootball

England midfielder Jude Bellingham says he thinks the team “got some things wrong” at Euro 2024.

The Three Lions reached the final of the competition, where they were beaten by Spain, but reflecting on the previous international tournament, ahead of this World Cup, Bellingham says there are lessons to be learned.

“At the Euros we got some things a little bit wrong off the pitch,” he said on England’s Lions’ Den show.

“I don’t feel like the group connected as well as it could have for a number of reasons. Expectation was part of it – we had done well in 2018 and done well in Qatar [for the 2022 World Cup] and when it came to that tournament we were seen as one of two or three teams that should win it.

“We were not playing particularly well so even when we were winning you didn’t get the feeling you were as happy as you should be.

“There has to be that element of relentless and wanting to win but it is the nature of football that wins go out of the system quickly and we should hold on to that moment a little more.

“I think this time round having those experiences… and knowing, for example, that the guy who scores the winning goal in the World Cup final isn’t always the one you’d bet your house on so you’ve always got to be ready, everyone’s got to feel loved and feel a huge part of the team. The other thing is just to enjoy it.”
