Bellingham Claims That Being England’s Captain Is His “Greatest Desire” But That He Would “Wait His Time.”

Jude Bellingham acknowledges that imitating Harry Kane as England captain would be his “greatest desire,” but he recognizes that it will take time for the aspiration to succeed.

Bellingham has performed well while wearing the national jersey, as seen by their victories over Ukraine on Sunday and Italy on Thursday.

Even if there are many other possibilities ahead of him for the position, the 19-year-old, who has already captained his club Borussia Dortmund for a few games, has his eyes set on donning the armband for his nation.

After the 2-0 victory at Wembley, Bellingham was asked by Channel 4 what would be the highest ambition and honor in sport. He said, “I suppose it would be to captain your nation.”

I really appreciate the lengthy pecking order, so I’ll wait my time. It is absorbing what I can from them in the meantime. The ideal location is here.

After the two-goal victory, Bellingham praised the team’s spirit, saying that he thinks they are capable of producing difficult results when necessary and, to some extent, introducing the beautiful game to English games.

We seem to have a fairly positive vibe in the locker room, according to Bellingham.

“We want to express ourselves, but there is a nasty side to us as well.” I believe we are currently doing a great job of covering all aspects of the game.

England leads Group C after two victories in their first two Euro 2024 qualifying matches, leading a quintet that also includes North Macedonia and Malta in addition to the sides the Three Lions have defeated this week.

Bellingham now returns to domestic duties, where Borussia Dortmund will take on Bayern Munich in Thomas Tuchel’s debut game as manager of the hosts next weekend.
