JAKARTA - Kieran Trippier, captain of the England national team, can't wait for Jude Bellingham's joining the team to prepare for Euro 2024.

Bellingham is still given a six-day holiday by Manager Gareth Southgate after winning the 2023/2024 Champions League with Real Madrid.

The 20-year-old midfielder had to miss two trials ahead of Euro 2024, against Bosnia-Herzegovina (June 4, 2024) and Iceland (June 7, 2024). He will return to the England national team on June 8, 2024.

However, Trippier believes Bellingham will make a big contribution to the England national team at Euro 2024.

"He doesn't look like a 20-year-old player. He's very mature for a child his age."

"Jude is under pressure to play for Real Madrid. He has accepted it calmly and all the players are very happy for him."

"We look forward to meeting him and hopefully he can bring his best form to England," Trippier said.

Bellingham is enjoying his holiday and the euphoria of Champions League champions. However, Southgate reminded the player not to celebrate too much.

The England national team manager ordered Bellingham to have enough rest so he could return to the team in good condition, both physically and mentally.

Meanwhile, Jude Bellingham is very happy to be able to present trebles for Real Madrid this season, namely La Liga, Spanish Supercopa, and Champions League.

He looked emotional at the celebration when he saw his family present in the crowd.

"I was fine until I faced my mother and father and my younger brother whom I made a role model."

"The night they (the parents) could be at home at 7 p.m., but they travel at 11 p.m. or 12 p.m. to see me play."

"I can't dream of it better than this. I can't believe it," Bellingham said at TNT Sports.

Bellingham has become an important player at Real Madrid at the age of 20. He contributed a total of 25 goals in all competitions for Los Blancos.

The England national team certainly hopes that their slick performance at Real Madrid will be contagious when appearing at Euro 2024.
