It's a dubious explanation, but it's ambiguous to say no. England superstar Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid) is expected to avoid disciplinary action amid controversy over obscenity ceremonies.
British media 'Mirror' reported on the 3rd (Korea Standard Time) 'It is unlikely that the UEFA will impose a suspension on Bellingham'
Earlier on the 2nd, the BBC reported that `UEFA (European Football Association) has launched an investigation into Bellingham's gestures.' This is because Bellingham acted like he was clutching something in his groin after scoring. But the Mirror defended Bellingham by offering a novel interpretation.
The Mirror glorified that "'Bellingham must have intended to show that he has to be as gutsy to score at a crucial moment under enormous pressure.'"
The Mirror said 'UEFA initially tried to take no action, but criticism poured in on social media. In the second week, an investigation has also been launched into allegations that a Serbian fan racist against an English player, but it is still pending. The decision on Bellingham will also not be made any time soon, and a suspension is not expected to be very likely.
Meanwhile, the BBC is investigating gestures taken by England midfielder Bellingham in Sunday's Euro 2024 round of 16. UEFA said Bellingham may have broken the rules on keeping dignity.
Bellingham took the lead in a 2-1 victory against Slovakia in the round of 16 of Euro 2024 in Germany on the 1st.
Bellingham saved England from elimination with an overhead kick in second-half stoppage time, trailing 0-1. England, who went to extra time thanks to Bellingham, won the game with a come-from-behind goal from Harry Kane (Bayern Munich). England will face Switzerland in the quarterfinals at 1 a.m. on the 7th.
However, the joy was brief, and Bellingham's ceremony became a problem. After scoring, he made a move that looked like he was clutching his crotch with his right hand. It could be interpreted as an insult to Slovakia.

The BBC reported 'The problematic rules are the provisions on ethical behavior, loyalty integrity and the principles of sportsmanship. It can be applied to anyone who violates the rules of offensive or polite conduct'
The Associated Press reported 'UEFA appointed a disciplinary investigator to identify the incident. If UEFA decides that Bellingham has broken the rules, Bellingham risks failing to make it to the quarterfinals against Switzerland. However, given similar cases in the past, he predicted that the fine is likely.
According to the Mirror, Bellingham and other England players have been given a day off to meet their families ahead of the quarterfinals against Switzerland.
Bellingham explained on social media as the controversy spread.
Bellingham is an internal joke directed at his close colleagues. I have nothing but respect for Slovakia, he has evolved.
According to the Associated Press, Cristiano Ronaldo paid a fine of 20,000 euros (about 30 million won) five years ago for making obscene gestures in the Champions League during his time at Juventus.
The BBC reported that Bellingham and England manager Gareth Southgate faced a nervous wait. It takes a few days for the investigation to be completed. Bellingham is more likely to be fined than suspended. It depends on how Bellingham explains it and how Slovakia accepts it.
