England's national team, led by head coach Gareth Southgate, won 2-1 against Slovakia in the round of 16 of Euro 2024 at Arena Aufshalke in Gelsenkirchen, Germany on the 1st (Korea time).
It was a dramatic victory at a time when he was on the verge of elimination. England were dragged away by Ivan Schranz in the 25th minute of the first half, and failed to score an equalizer until the 45th minute of the second half, leaving them in deep defeat. However, the equalizer was scored in extra time in the second half. The main character was Bellingham.
Bellingham shook the Slovak net with an acrobatic bicycle kick when Walker's long throw-in hit Eze's head and headed to the center of the box in the fifth minute of extra time in the second half. England, which went into extra time later, Harry Kane scored a come-from-behind goal and advanced to the quarterfinals by keeping the lead.
Bellingham doubled the joy of victory after being named the man of the match (POTM) after the end of the match. Southgate also admired Bellingham's performance, saying, `Bellingham has a huge influence on the club and the national team.'

Then "It's a habit I learned in Real Madrid. "Since joining Real, my skills have improved a lot, and I'm so grateful that I was able to show that in this match." He expressed his gratitude, saying that the secret to scoring this goal was the habit he gained from his team Real.
Bellingham also complained of physical problems as he played many games during the previous season ahead of this round of 16. He said "I was completely dead"He also mentioned that he had difficulties in the group stage due to extreme fatigue.
But Bellingham has certainly raised his ratings once again with the score. Bellingham `heard people talking nonsense. I was able to give them back a little. To score goals and celebrate is liberation. Maybe it was a message to some people," he said, explaining that it was a proper score to return criticism.
With Bellingham's performance, England, the number one favorite, made a miraculous advance to the quarterfinals. However, in order to win this tournament, it is time for a rebound rather than a miracle in the remaining tournament games, so much attention is expected to be paid to the quarterfinal performance against Switzerland.
