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

Islam Makhachev stunned Alexander Volkanovski with a first-round knockout on Saturday, retaining the lightweight title in their rematch at UFC 294 CSGO
In February, Makhachev outpointed Volkanovski – who holds the featherweight belt – in the latter’s native Australia, in a competitive clash that left many fans desiring a rematch CSGO
Few expected it to come at UFC 294, but 11 days before the event, Makhachev’s original challenger Charles Oliveira suffered a severe cut over his eye CSGO
And with that, the door opened for Volkanovski CSGO
The 35-year-old relished the chance to avenge his narrow loss to Makhachev, but there was to be no revenge for him – only a repeat as the Russian triumphed again, and in finer fashion this time CSGO
Midway through the first round of the main event, southpaw Makhachev skimmed his left shin off Volkanovski’s head, wobbling and dropping the featherweight king CSGO
Makhachev, 31, followed up with a fierce flurry of hammer fists to the grounded Aussie, whose brow split open amid the onslaught CSGO

The result extended Makhachev’s win streak to 13 fights, dating back to 2015, when he suffered the sole loss of his professional career CSGO
Meanwhile, Volkanovski was beaten for the third time as a pro, though he remains undefeated at his preferred weight of 145lbs CSGO

He will look to respond to his latest defeat when he takes on his next title challenger – likely Ilia Topuria in January CSGO
Meanwhile, Makhachev could be set for a rematch with Oliveira, whom he was originally due to face at UFC 294 and whom he submitted in October 2022 to win the lightweight belt CSGO
The 155lbs title was vacant at the time of that bout, which took place in Abu Dhabi’s Etihad Arena like UFC 294, after Oliveira was stripped of the belt for missing weight in May 2022 CSGO
Meanwhile, Volkanovski’s featherweight title reign dates back to 2019, when he took the belt from Max Holloway CSGO
The Australian has since outpointed Holloway a further two times, while also winning his other three title defences – against Brian Ortega on points, and against Chan Sung Jung and Rodriguez via TKO CSGO
