O plano da vitória, todo dia eu tento! Sempre que eu canso, eu me reinvento.
Por isso quando eu ganho, eu não me surpreendo, é só a consequência do processo acontecendo.
🚨Javier Aguirre on Jude Bellingham:
🗣️ Reporter:
“What made Jude Bellingham so difficult for your team to deal with tonight?”
🗣️ Javier Aguirre:
“It’s not just his quality. We prepared for his quality.
What makes him so difficult is that he never stays in one place.
One minute he’s helping in midfield, the next he’s arriving in the box like a centre-forward.
You think you’ve picked him up, then he disappears from your line of sight for one second… and that’s enough.
For his first goal, we had defenders in the right positions. But Jude attacked the space with perfect timing.
For the second goal, exactly the same story. He reads the game half a second quicker than everybody else.
Players like that punish the smallest mistake.
You can spend the whole week analysing them, showing videos, working on defensive shape… but if you lose concentration for one moment, he’s there.
Tonight, that’s exactly what happened.
We didn’t lose because we didn’t respect Jude Bellingham.
We lost because, for two moments, we couldn’t stop him from doing what world-class players do.
🚨 David Beckham on Jude Bellingham after his masterclass against Mexico:
🗣 Watching Jude Bellingham play for England fills you with pride. At his age, he carries himself like somebody who was born for these moments.
🗣 What he is doing in this World Cup is special because you can see the passion in him. He doesn’t hide from pressure, he demands the ball and fights for every moment.
🗣 England fans have waited years for a midfielder who can inspire, dominate and lead with personality at the highest level. Jude Bellingham is becoming the heartbeat of this team.
🗣 Honestly, when you watch performances like tonight, you don’t just see a future star anymore you see a player who can bring a nation dreams again.
Jude Bellingham is having a dream World Cup—an even higher-level, more mature version of the player we saw under Ancelotti during the 2024 season.
When you look at his heat map, you genuinely start asking yourself: Is he a right winger? A full-back? A penalty-box striker? A false nine? Or a defensive midfielder? His physical output was simply extraordinary, especially after Quansah’s red card.
On top of scoring two goals—one of them from a difficult cross delivered by Saka—he produced what has to be one of the ten best individual performances of this World Cup.
He excelled in every aspect of the game: linking play, carrying out complex defensive and attacking responsibilities, scoring, and showing an almost telepathic understanding with Harry Kane.
Today, Bellingham scored twice to take his World Cup tally to four goals. He also made three tackles, recovered possession three times, and won 10 of his 16 ground and aerial duels against a physically relentless Mexican side.
Quite simply, defenders have no idea which version of Bellingham they’re dealing with. One moment he’s dominating midfield, the next he’s crashing into the box like an elite striker. He’s become one of the most complete footballers in the world.
Haaland pede para que o povo brasileiro continue acreditado na Seleção.
"Vocês precisam continuar apoiando, porque o Brasil deveria ser.... O Brasil deveria passar de fase, sejamos honestos. O Brasil é uma grande nação do futebol, e a grande nação do futebol deveria estar nas semifinais, e deveria estar nas finais."
