      Jude Bellingham pays tribute to ‘legend’ former Manchester City and England star ahead of Ireland clash

      by

      JUDE BELLINGHAM hailed a former Manchester City star a “legend” after working with him for England.The midfielder seems to be enjoying working alongside former Premier League winner Joleon Lescott.Jude Bellingham reserved praise for one of his England coachesCredit: GettyThe pair appear to have been getting on well in trainingCredit: InstagramBellingham shared a photo of the pair of them in training at St. George’s Park, calling him a legend.However Lescott may not be around for much longer as he only moved up to coach the senior team when Lee Carsley was appointed interim manager, having coached the Under-21s under Carsley.Bellingham was put through his paces by Lescott ahead of England’s Nations League clash with Ireland.The Real Madrid star showed a return to form against Greece on Thursday, helping England to a 3-0 win which puts their fate in their own hands.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLA win over Ireland will see them regain their place in Nations League A following relegation two years ago.Bellingham, 21, was pleased with the win and performance against Greece, and he was full of praise for his team-mates after the match.The Galactico said: “A lot was made of the lads that weren’t here but the lads that were here, who showed up, were amazing.“There would have been a million and one excuses if we hadn’t played well or not got over the line.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSEngland ratings vs Greece as Madueke and Jones steal the show after Kane benchedIT IS difficult to remember an England starting XI which, on paper at least, looked as totally underwhelming as this one.Yet manager-in-waiting Thomas Tuchel, presumably watching the game at his home in Bavaria, will have been hugely encouraged by this performance from what appeared to be a complete mish-mash of a team – and one which was awfully short of experience.Here’s how SunSport’s Tom Barclay rated England’s stars…Jordan Pickford – 8Back in after being dropped for Finland last month – and showed a good response. Great stop to deny Kostas Tsimikas at the near post and alive to danger throughout.Earned his first-ever booking in 72 England caps for time wasting in the first half.Kyle Walker – 7Captain in Harry Kane’s absence and passionately conveyed his side’s frustration to ref Daniel Siebert when Pickford was booked.Moved to centre-back after the break when Ezri Konsa went off.Marc Guehi – 7Another solid performance from the Crystal Palace man who you would think would be a first-choice starter for Thomas Tuchel when the German begins work.Ezri Konsa – 7One of several players targeted by a laser in the crowd, along with Pickford and Belligham.Limped off just before half-time and was replaced by Lewis Hall at the break.Rico Lewis – 7Filled in at left-back over newbie Hall, before moving to the right when the Newcastle man came on.Almost had his first England goal early in the second half but was denied by a fine stop from Hall’s club-mate Odysseas Vlachodimos.Curtis Jones – 9Sparkled on debut in the heart of midfield, not looking overawed in the slightest. Played deeper than he does for Liverpool, but in the same position where he shone for Lee Carsley in England’s triumphant Under-21 Euros last summer.Gorgeous backheel to cap his bow with the third goal.Conor Gallagher – 7Started brightly next to Jones, though gave the ball away a few times after the break. Booked for stopping a quick free-kick early on.Arrived just too late to poke in the rebound from Bellingham’s strike as it had already crossed the line for an own goal.Noni Madueke – 9A blistering first start from the Chelsea man who put real pressure on Bukayo Saka’s place with this performance.He took on his man at every opportunity, at pace, and had excellent end product too, setting up Watkins’ opener and a header for Bellingham which hit the post.Jude Bellingham – 8Some sublime touches and passes from the talisman, including a wonderful ball round the corner to release Madueke in the build-up to the opener.Seemed to thrive with pace all around him and killed off the game with his late strike which hit the post and bounced in off the keeper.Anthony Gordon – 7Provided a threat down the left with his pace and trickery, even if he was outshone by Madueke. A decent display but not one that demanded he start at left wing every game.Ollie Watkins – 7The surprise starter over Harry Kane. He took his early chance well, converting from the edge of the six-yard box.Could have had another when sent clean through but the ball got stuck under his feet.SubsLewis Hall (for Ezri Konsa half-time) – 7Came on at half-time for his debut and did not put a foot wrong.Harry Kane (for Ollie Watkins, 66) – 6Had a curling effort well stopped after exchanging passes with fellow sub Morgan Rogers.Morgan Rogers (for Anthony Gordon, 66) – 8Some exciting touches from the Villa debutant, including one to release Bellingham in the lead-up to the second goal.Jarrod Bowen (for Noni Madueke, 66) – 7Clever nutmeg to free Morgan Gibbs-White, who then teed up Jones.Morgan Gibbs-White (for Gallagher, 79) – 7Cutback for Jones was on the money.Lescott is a big admirer of Bellingham and not just for his football ability, praising his conduct off the pitch.He said: “Jude’s had a huge impact at Real Madrid and that’s incredible to think from a boy who’s come from Birmingham. As a human he’s impressive as well, not just as a footballer, he’s someone you can look up to and admire.ITV ‘do England stars dirty’ as live footage of national anthem singing leaves fans in hysterics”He’s carrying himself well and delivering on the pitch. He understands the game at a level he shouldn’t at his age. Long may it continue for himself and England because he could win the Ballon D’or and that would be a huge thing for England.” More

In the end, I asked myself, ‘Why would I read something about my team or my match and who should know better than me?’Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS”For a long time, I’ve been getting closer to Ayurveda through meditation and got familiar with the lifestyle – with the routine that is attached – to this philosophy.”I always had a good feeling about it.

But, by the end of the stay, he appeared in the 41-minute clip at ease with the world.However he does admit he did drink some warm ghee as part of his therapy.Dressed in an unbuttoned shirt, he told Dr Vignesh Devraj: “I got a bit grumpy. There was zero sugar and the ghee drinking was not very pleasant.”I was not in the best mood but I wanted to be here. Now I feel a difference. And when I look in the mirror I see I lost some kilos. “It was my wish to come here for a long time, one of my assistants did it five or six years ago, and we still keep on talking about it.”So now is the moment for a little break and a new start in my life. I am very happy I did it.”It’s nice to be hear, the butterflies are so big, the view to the sea… to hear the sound of it.”How the place is set up, the memories, the temperature, the location, having this kind of routine, having this limited amount of distraction, and being with yourself.”It actually gives me a lot of self-confidence in the basic meaning of me.”After three weeks, I am very aware of myself and I am happy with myself.Southgate vs Tuchel records comparedTHOMAS TUCHELAugsburg II 2007-2008P34 W 20 D8 L6 Win percentage: 58.82%Mainz 05 2009-2014P184 W72 D46 L66 Win percentage: 39.13%Borussia Dortmund 2015-2017P107 W67 D23 L17 Win percentage: 62.62%Honours: DFB Pokal Paris Saint Germain 2018-2020P127 W95 D13 L16 Win percentage: 74.8%Honours: Ligue 1 X2, Coupe de France, Coupe de la Ligue, Trophee des Champions x2Chelsea 2021-2022P100 W60 D24 L16 Win percentage: 60%Honours: Champions League, Super Cup, Club World CupBayern Munich 2023-2024P61 W37 D8 L16 Win percentage: 60.66%Honours: BundesligaGARETH SOUTHGATEMiddlesbrough 2006-2009P151 W54 D43 Win percentage: 35.76%England U21 2013-2016P37 W27 D5 L5 Win percentage: 72.97%Honours: Toulon tournamentEngland 2016-2024P102 W61 D24 L17 Win percentage: 59.8%Honours: Euros runners up, 2020, 2024Tuchel admitted the retreat helped him find some clarity in his lifeCredit: Sitaram Beach RetreatTuchel left the resort happier, more relaxed, before he took on the Bayern Munich roleCredit: Sitaram Beach Retreat”I allow myself to be happy and not to force things.READ MORE SUN STORIES”I feel healthy and it was kind of a ceremony to close things, but also restart things.”That sounds similar to what England need after Gareth Southgate’s successful tenure.
