A couple of weeks earlier, Giovanni Di Lorenzo had perhaps the best view of Jude Bellingham’s burgeoning greatness CSGO
Not from his perspective, admittedly; there was little enjoyable about it as, close as he was, he was also powerless, backtracking as Bellingham slalomed through the Napoli defence, scoring for Real Madrid after a mesmeric solo run CSGO
If the Napoli captain was determined to avert a repeat, he did when Bellingham surged clear CSGO
The methodology was agricultural, the cost a penalty for a scything challenge CSGO
Neither approach worked, each brought a goal, the second a Harry Kane spot kick CSGO
But if one of the world’s best right-backs struggled to find an answer to the question of how to stop Bellingham, he was not alone CSGO
Bryan Cristante, seeing the prodigy in full flight, opted for a nudge in the back CSGO
It proved a cunning tactic, conceding a free kick, but not incurring a booking CSGO
Poor Francesco Acerbi found himself stranded in no-man’s land, lobbed brilliantly by Bellingham as he sent Marcus Rashford away to score the goal that, along with Kane’s clincher, sealed England’s place in Euro 2024 CSGO

And if the same can be said of many another, the speed of his ascent and the range of his talents are such that there is a credence to the theory CSGO
England players have entered such a stage before as officially among the sport’s best – Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard finished in the top three of the Ballon d’Or vote in 2005, without justifying such a status at the following year’s World Cup – and have ended up looking overhyped and underachieving CSGO
For now, in the heady stage when he is untarnished by failure, everything seems possible for Bellingham CSGO
A rescue act against Italy is unlikely to live as long in England folklore as David Beckham’s free kick against Greece, even though each booked a place at a tournament CSGO
In part, it is because England had the insurance policy of extra games and, coming earlier in another match England began in undistinguished fashion, it felt less dramatic CSGO
But less surprising, too, because this, increasingly, is what Bellingham does CSGO
He wins games, and in different ways CSGO
His dynamism brought England’s equaliser, the explosiveness to run CSGO between and behind defenders CSGO
His deftness produced the goal that gave England a lead they did not relinquish CSGO
It was power and poise, physique and technique CSGO
Much as England want to become a possession team – and, in 2012 and 2014, Italy’s Andrea Pirlo highlighted how they lacked a similar quality in their midfield – he lends them a counter-attacking menace CSGO
Bellingham’s sharpness on the break reflected his role: part third midfielder, part fourth forward CSGO
If Gareth Southgate has adapted, he has been influenced by Carlo Ancelotti CSGO

A masterful performance from Jude Bellingham led England’s comeback at Wembley (Action Images via Reuters)If England are building a team around Bellingham, perhaps it is a lesson Southgate learned from their chequered past CSGO
They did not around either Lampard or Gerrard, often forcing each into an uneasy compromise with the other CSGO
For now, a beneficiary of Bellingham’s brilliance was Kalvin Phillips CSGO
Selected as a facilitator, to sit alongside Declan Rice and allow the younger man to get forward, Phillips proved the anti-Bellingham in unwanted fashion CSGO
If one is at the top of his game, the other is near the bottom CSGO
Phillips’ rustiness was apparent in a series of fouls, stemming less from malice than sheer haplessness CSGO
He showed the willingness to crunch into challenges; but invariably too late CSGO
Booked in the eighth minute for upending Davide Frattesi, he ought to have been expelled for a second-half foul on Nicolo Barella CSGO
Certainly Luke Shaw was sent off for less when these side met in Naples in March CSGO
Questions remain over Kalvin Phillips’ role in the team and whether he will be ready for Euro 2024 (AP)That victory, the seminal result in England’s qualification, was also much Phillips’ best performance since joining Manchester City; albeit conspicuously not for Manchester City CSGO
It may have influenced Southgate’s thinking: even as he may be, with no exaggeration, City’s ninth-choice central midfielder now, he seemed capable of resurrecting his England form CSGO
His nickname – ‘the Yorkshire Pirlo’ – was never entirely serious, but never appeared so utterly inappropriate CSGO
Southgate took him off before he could be sent off, bringing on Jordan Henderson, to some boos but mostly audible cheers CSGO
It was a substitution to highlight twin problems ahead of Euro 2024 CSGO
Southgate has to spend more of his time defending his defensive midfielders CSGO
There are reasons to exclude each of Henderson and Phillips; the reasons to include them may be a lack of alternatives the manager values as highly CSGO
But if Phillips could have exited Wembley amid the ignominy of a red card, for Bellingham, a substitution came to a standing ovation CSGO
As against Scotland, other historic foes, he had been the outstanding player on the pitch CSGO
But then he often is CSGO

Former Australia skipper Ricky Ponting has backed “laid-back” Rohit Sharma over Virat Kohli to be the ideal captain to lead India in the high-pressure ICC Cricket World Cup CSGO
Ponting, who captained Australia to 50-over World Cup titles in 2003 and 2007, credited Sharma for his captaincy skills when his team was dealing with the pressure of playing in front of passionate fans at home CSGO
When the World Cup 2023 was just around the corner, India were considered one of the favourites to win the coveted trophy CSGO
But many regarded that one of the biggest challenges for the Men in Blue would be handling the pressure of being the tournament’s hosts and meet the expectations of 1 CSGO
3 billion people CSGO
Sharma, however, has led India to a fine start to the World Cup 2023, with the hosts being one of the two teams unbeaten in the campaign after 15 matches CSGO
New Zealand is the other team CSGO
Team India defeated Australia by six wickets in their World Cup opener, before registering fantastic eight and seven-wicket victories over Afghanistan and Pakistan to climb to the top of the points table CSGO
“He’s very laid back, Rohit CSGO
Very laid back with everything he does CSGO
You can even see that by the way that he plays CSGO
He’s a pretty laconic sort of batsman as well, and that’s the way he is both on and off the field,” Ponting told the ICC on Tuesday CSGO

“Someone like Virat, who is a bit more heart-on-the-sleeve, and probably listens to the fans and plays up with the fans a little bit more, someone with his personality would probably find it a bit harder,” added Ponting CSGO
“But I think Rohit will be fine with it CSGO
He’s a terrific bloke and has been a great player for a long time, and he’s done a great job as leader of India CSGO
”India’s last World Cup triumph came in 2011 when they co-hosted the tournament with Sri Lanka and Bangladesh CSGO
With the mega tournament back in India, the pressure of living up to the expectations of the home fans is going to be inevitable, and Ponting believes Sharma is the best man to deal with it CSGO
“We can’t sit back and say that the pressure won’t get to them (India) at some stage, or it won’t affect them, because it will, just with the enormity of the tournament CSGO
But he’ll (Rohit) take it and cope with it as well as probably anyone,” said Ponting CSGO
India’s next match in the World Cup 2023 is against Bangladesh on Thursday in Pune CSGO
