On July 1, Beijing time, less than 24 hours after England's victory over Slovakia, UEFA officially issued an announcement saying that Bellingham's misconduct against Slovakia was suspected of violating disciplinary guidelines and would be investigated. Bellingham, who scored one goal in the game, was caught behaving indecently against the Slovak bench and quickly caught the attention of fans, although Bellingham posted after the game: "It's just an internal joke gesture to some friends who were there. There is only respect for Slovakia's performance tonight. However, UEFA has officially launched an investigation.
Against Slovakia, Bellingham didn't play as well as he did during his time at Real Madrid, but scored the equaliser in the final minute of the game to help England overcome their opponents and reach the last eight of this tournament. Judging from the footage captured by the reporter, Bellingham's actions are indeed very unsightly, as a public figure, and a top star, such behavior on the pitch will definitely attract the attention of UEFA.
However, it is now only in the investigation stage, and it is not yet possible to confirm the punishment of Bellingham. According to the previous punishment measures, the player is most likely to face the punishment of bans and fines, if it is just a simple fine, whether it is Bellingham or England is not too big a problem, but if it is a ban, England, which has entered the top 8, will face the next opponents should not be underestimated, and it will definitely have a greater impact on the strength of the team, which is unacceptable to England.
No matter what the final punishment result is, it is also a reminder to Bellingham that he became Mr. 100 million yuan at the age of 21, and he is still the most valuable player in world football today, and Mbappe and Vinicius are tied for first place with a value of 180 million euros. Bellingham, who has become famous as a teenager and has already won the Champions League, also needs a warning to remind himself of the situation he is facing.
However, the most crucial thing for Bellingham is that this investigation and possible punishment will have a certain impact on his next competition for the Ballon d'Or. As a key player of Real Madrid, and won the Champions League trophy with the team, if he won the European Cup, scored a key goal, and affected the outcome of the game, Bellingham is naturally a strong contender for the Ballon d'Or. However, whether his behavior this time will take a toll on his image will also be a key factor in whether he can win the Ballon d'Or.
