Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that James Maddison did the Jude Bellingham celebration in front of him during training.
James Maddison got captured on camera doing the Jude Bellingham celebration in front of him at the training ground.Â
As the players left the Stadion Wroclaw in Poland after the final whistle, Bellingham was at the centre of an embarrassing mishap.
The 20-year-old exited the ground and immediately hopped on the bus parked at the front of the car park.
However, this was the Ukrainian team’s coach and Bellingham had to awkwardly turn around and walk back down the stairs.
The midfielder was then escorted to the correct bus where his England team-mates could be found.
That raised this entire occasion way beyond a European Championship qualifier, and into something much more special, that often felt like a privilege to witness. The moment of Zinchenko’s opening goal was uplifting.
Gareth Southgate’s side remain locked on course to reach Euro 2024 in Germany with four wins and this 1-1 draw from their first five qualifiers. A point away from home in an awkward environment is not to be dismissed lightly.
What also cannot be dismissed is the lack of creativity, urgency and energy that required them to come from behind after Oleksandr Zinchenko’s opening goal for Ukraine had a thunderous roar and outpouring of joy sweeping around this bowl of a stadium.
Harry Kane’s flash of brilliance conjured up Kyle Walker’s equaliser just before half-time, the 33-year-old Manchester City defender scoring his first England goal on his 77th appearance.
After that it was a slog to break down the resolute Ukraine defence, Bukayo Saka coming closest when his rising shot was touched on to the bar by keeper Georgiy Bushchan after the break.
The spoils were shared while Ukraine’s players and fans revelled in this unique atmosphere, with dull England – too many passes and not enough chances – doing nothing to spoil the mood.
