On the evening of July 1, Beijing time, UEFA officially announced that UEFA would launch an investigation into England's 21-year-old rising star Bellingham for allegedly violating the basic rules of decent behavior. The Real Madrid red star, who is worth 180 million euros, faces the possibility of being punished by UEFA.
In the previous 1/8 final match between England and Slovakia, Bellingham, who started the game, scored a wonderful barb goal in the fifth minute of stoppage time to help England complete the equalizer. And in the ensuing celebration, perhaps too excited, Bellingham, who got a little carried away, was photographed, suspected of making a controversial gesture towards the Slovak bench and then pulling his crotch to his mouth.
After the game, after being questioned and condemned by many people, Bellingham hurriedly issued a post to clarify that he was just joking with his friends at the scene and did not mean to disrespect Slovakia. However, this explanation did not convince UEFA to abandon the investigation against him.
In this European Cup, Bellingham, who is worth as much as 180 million euros, started all four games and contributed two goals. He and Kane have also been responsible for all four of England's goals so far at this European Championship.
At 0:00 on the 7th of this month, England will face Switzerland in the quarter-finals, and if Bellingham is not banned by UEFA, he will most likely continue to start this game.
