Bellingham — England's Most Underrated "Clutch Player"

When discussing England, most people's first reaction is Kane. But folks, Bellingham is the real "clutch player" for England.

Bellingham had 2 goals and 1 assist in 3 group stage matches. Against Panama, he contributed with a goal and an assist. His running, physicality, and penetrating runs are the most scarce resources in England's midfield.

Bellingham's stats for England are very comprehensive — 30 line-breaking passes, 20 ball recoveries, and 24 duels won, all three of which are the highest on the team. He is also one of only two players in this World Cup to achieve 20+ in all three of the above categories.

With Rice back, Bellingham can return to a more advanced position. This means he will have more opportunities to enter the box, take shots, and create threats. Although Congo's five-man defensive line is compact, Bellingham's sudden forward runs often disrupt the opponent's defensive setup.

In expert predictions, Bellingham scoring or assisting is a repeatedly mentioned option. He has already proven himself as a big-game player at Real Madrid, and the World Cup knockout stage is the perfect stage for him to prove himself once again.
