Jude Bellingham finally used to his full potential

Real Madrid seem to have found the best way to use Jude Bellingham. José Mourinho has installed the Englishman as number 10 and above all wants to see him evolve close to the goal. In Valdebebas, the connection between the two men is even described as excellent. Mourinho above all freed him from some of the defensive work which sometimes took him far away from the surface in recent seasons. Bellingham can now participate in the construction while remaining much more present in the last thirty meters. With three goals and three assists already this season, the Englishman has regained a major influence and Mourinho even believes that he can once again join the race for the Ballon d’Or.

Enzo Fernandez knows why Argentina lost

The Argentine midfielder returned to the physical state of the Albiceleste when facing Spain and recognized that his team was particularly weak. “ What if we were physically weakened? Yes, we came out of two overtime periods, including one against Cape Verde in Miami in incredible heat and humidity. Half the team had physical problems. The last few weeks were exhausting. But Spain beat us, we must congratulate the opponent. » Statements which therefore allow us to better understand the state in which Argentina approached this final, without seeking an excuse for the defeat since Enzo Fernandez himself recognizes Spanish superiority.

2038 objective for the Blues

The French Football Federation wants to host the next Final Four of the Nations League if the France team manages to qualify. Lyon and Saint-Étienne could host the matches, including the possibility of playing the final at Groupama Stadium. But Philippe Diallo already sees much further. The president of the FFF confirmed that France also wanted to apply for a future World Cup. With the increase to 48 teams and the need to have at least sixteen large stadiums, France would necessarily have to join forces with one or more other countries. The 2038 World Cup therefore already appears to be a possibility for the Federation.
