Along with failing to create any opportunities for his teammates, the Real Madrid player also failed to successfully tackle the ball and completed not a single accurate pass into the opponent’s end of the field.

Moreover, just 12 percent of Bellingham’s passes resulted in goals. The England squad’s least successful duler, at 22%, is the 20-year-old. Additionally, Bellingham lost possession the most times out of the Three Lions—16 times.

In the first three games of the EURO 2024 group stage, Bellingham managed just one shot and one created opportunity. The image of the star, who was just named the “Best Player of La Liga” and is a serious contender for this year’s Golden Ball, is unrecognizable.

Jordan Pickford, the England goalkeeper, on the other hand, displayed his stability. The Everton player made one save in the Three Lions’ 1-0 victory over Slovenia. Throughout the history of the England squad, Pickford has kept more clean sheets in important competitions than any other goalkeeper.

Despite the scoreless draw with Slovenia, England managed to win Group C. The explanation is that Serbia held Denmark to a goalless draw in the other game. This is the first time in EURO history, according to Opta, that both of a group’s final games have ended in a goalless tie.

John Stones and Harry Kane have defended their team’s play in the face of criticism. “We finished top of the table,” stated Kane. Although it was a difficult game, we performed much better than in the previous two. Despite having superior possession and playing with a lot of intensity, we were unable to complete the pass or finish.

“We just focus on ourselves and what we can control,” Stones remarked. It will be difficult for us to improve in the upcoming game. Though it’s not the outcome we were hoping for, I think we are headed in the right direction, and I’m happy to be at the top.
