England striker Jude Bellingham, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, reaffirmed the spirit of competition of the Three Lions who put themselves up against Spain in the European final this Sunday.
"We told you last time that we live to fight another day. Another late goal but it would be nice to score first and have that peace of mind. When they scored the first goal I didn't think we were playing badly, it was a good finish to be honest. I'm really proud of the boys. Reaction, attitude and mentality. Quality is one thing, but you can't teach those characteristics in training. you get them from experience and each other.
Now we have one more match. We are tired, it has been a long season, but this is a last push for our country and for history", said the star of Real Madrid, who plays a lot for the "Golden Ball" in case of success in Berlin on Sunday.
He stopped to comment on the Spanish rivals, whom he knows very well, but also the emotions of Oli Watkins' goal, for which he said he is very happy: "We will receive criticism when we don't play well, but it is important to build that resistance against them and come together and win these games. These moments are wonderful, they bring us together as a team and a family. These moments make us more united and we take it to the final now. Oli Watkins came on and took his chance. I am very happy for him. You are not starting every game as a starter for your club and that is difficult for a footballer. He came off the bench and won us the game.
We're really grateful, because I'm not sure if I had another 30 minutes on my feet. He is the hero and he saved us. Spain have looked great, they have looked very good in this European. Now we will sit down and analyze how they play to better understand what we need to do on Sunday. We will do the proper analysis for this match. It's just a singles match and anything can happen. It will be interesting to go head to head with them.
