Bellingham's critics face a daunting task in bringing down the young star. Wright believes some people are intimidated by Bellingham's exceptional abilities, which he describes as "frightening". The former England striker claims that certain individuals, including football pundits and fans, are uncomfortable with Bellingham's outspoken nature and his success on the pitch.
Wright suggests that these critics are not ready for a black superstar like Bellingham, who can dominate games with his skill and energy. In contrast, players like N'Golo Kantรฉ, who is also from a minority background but has a more low-key profile, are viewed as acceptable figures in the England squad.
The former striker recalls sending Jude Bellingham a warning message before he joined the team, saying "Be ready" for the potential backlash. Wright believes that some people are trying to pile on criticism of Bellingham because England have qualified easily for the World Cup and need someone new to focus on.
However, Wright also suggests that some critics may be motivated by jealousy or a desire to undermine Bellingham's success. He argues that these individuals cannot touch Bellingham, who is an achiever and a winner in every sense of the word. Despite the criticism, Wright remains confident in Bellingham's ability to shine on the pitch and inspire his teammates.
Wright's comments have added fuel to the debate about Bellingham's role in the England squad, with some arguing that he needs to tone down his behavior and others defending him against what they see as unfair criticism. Whatever the outcome, it is clear that Bellingham has already become a lightning rod for attention and scrutiny, both on and off the pitch.
