England legend, Wayne Rooney has come out to warn a frustrated Jude Bellingham to calm down at Euro 2024. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, Jude could not hide his frustration in the first half of the match vs Slovenia, and a wrong body language like that only sends a wrong message to the fans, his team-mates and his manager.
Rooney added that he hopes the frustration doesn’t boil over to the point where he gets a red card or does something stupid in a crucial game.
His words, “Three or four times in the first half [against Slovenia] he could not hide his frustration. He was turning round to look at others and throwing his arms up. Body language like that sends a message to the fans, to his team-mates, to the manager.
I’ve been there. I know exactly the position he’s in. I found myself in that headspace many times in international football, and at certain points in my club career. I just hope the frustration doesn’t boil over to the point where he gets a red card or does something stupid and gets himself injured. Against Slovenia, it looked as if he was getting close.
Throughout this tournament it has looked as if he has been trying too hard, and when you try too hard, you make decisions you don’t normally make.
He reminds me of myself in tournaments where you want so desperately to do well and know you and the team could be playing better, and it gets to you. But don’t do something stupid, Jude.”
WOW.
