Jude Bellingham’s four word reaction to James Maddison’s display is embarrassing for Gareth Southgate
James Maddison, one of the season’s biggest acquisitions, is playing at the peak of his abilities at Tottenham Hotspur.
As far as the Premier League is concerned, he was perhaps the finest player in the league even before to his injury sustained during Tottenham’s November loss to Chelsea.
Thus, you would expect it would translate into increased playing time for the superstar Spurs player, particularly when he left for England’s national team.
Well, reconsider!
James Maddison played only around 20 minutes against Belgium on Tuesday night and was not deployed as a replacement, despite England’s 1-0 friendly loss to Brazil over the weekend.
Tottenham’s creative force, while playing so little, nonetheless set up Jude Bellingham’s equalizing goal in stoppage time, which allowed them to win the match.
Jude Bellingham sent James Maddison a four-word post on Instagram after the game, saying, “What a f____g player.”
The 27-year-old’s abilities are visible to someone like the Real Madrid player, therefore it begs the question of why Gareth Southgate isn’t playing him more as the England manager’s situation is becoming humiliating.
@judebellingham 🤝 Great character at the death to salvage something at Wembley! Need to take that attitude into the summer,” wrote Maddison.
Will James Maddison of Tottenham play at Euro 2024?
Yes, most England supporters would say. On the field, you can sense the bond between the two; even Bellingham would want him on the squad if you asked him.
Will Maddison, however, be included in Southgate’s final 23-man selection for Euro 2024?
There must be some doubt—not because of the player’s abilities, but because of Southgate’s apparent blindness and the way he appears to think.
It wouldn’t be shocking if he did left Maddison at home throughout the summer considering how little time he has given her, especially since it’s obvious that he is viewing things differently from other people.
