Roy Keane has hailed Jude Bellingham after the England midfielder's outstanding performance in their 7-0 victory over Croatia in the Nations League. Bellingham, who came off the bench against Czechia, scored once and provided three assists, making him the first England midfielder to register four goal involvements in a match since David Platt in 1993.
The Real Madrid player created eight chances, completed four dribbles, and had the most touches (108) for England. The 23-year-old was voted the Three Lions' man of the match.
Keane, a former Manchester United midfielder, praised Bellingham's abilities both with and without the ball. He believes Bellingham has the potential to become one of the greatest players of all time, highlighting his excellent possession skills and his positive impact on the team off the ball. Keane also commended Bellingham's defensive contributions, noting that the midfielder registered 14 ground duels, a tackle, an interception, and two recoveries.
The former Borussia Dortmund player was named England Men's Player of the Year and was the best player for Thomas Tuchel's side at the 2022 World Cup.
