They’ve put the whole of England on his back and so far he’s managed to hold it. the “miracle” boy Bellingham is looking for his first European gold. Plus, he’s got the strongest head!

He is a “prodigy” who has been playing among adults since he was 15. By the time he’s 20, he’s being asked to perform miracles in his home country. It looks like they’ve got the whole country on his back, but he’s really been able to hold it together so far. Will Bellingham win England’s first European gold?

They have a team literally packed with the biggest stars in European football, yet their expectations are focused on a youngster only 20 years old. England, the overwhelming favourites for the 17th European Championship, have made it through the first game. They beat Serbia 1-0. Guess who scored?

Yes, you guessed right. In the 13th minute, Jude Bellingham proved that he was rightly relied upon. Expectations from the Real Madrid midfielder before the championship were heightened by an Adidas video where the Birmingham offspring loaded literally the whole of England onto his back.

“He’s an incredible player. He deserves all the praise he is getting at the moment as well. It’s the way he plays, the confidence he plays with and the way he affects the game. It’s important for players in those positions to score goals and that’s what Jude does,” Harry Kane told UEFA of his teammate.

Bellingham’s header flew at 60 km/h

In addition, the same website came up with statistics data metrics from Connected Ball Technology. According to the adidas Fussballliebe Official Match Ball, Bellingham’s winning goal flew at a top speed of 60.6 km/h. That’s the most powerful header of the tournament so far.

“I liked it. We had a great balance between playing with and without the ball. Trent (Alexander-Arnold) was great, he orchestrated the game and helped me a lot. The whole midfield interplay worked really well, even with Dec (Rico),” Bellingham said of playing in the centre of England’s midfield.

“I felt really confident after the start of the game. I couldn’t wait to play in such an amazing tournament with such a great group of players. I think you could see I was enjoying my football,” added Bellingham.

Will the ‘wonder’ youngster take a proud Albion to their first European title? So far, it looks like expectations are justified and even Adidas’ advertising is not exaggerating. The second act of this intriguing story is scheduled for Thursday, with England taking on Denmark.
