Ferdinand cites an example in defense of Bellignem

Manchester United's legendary former footballer Rio Ferdinand has expressed his views regarding the criticism aimed at Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham. The 22-year-old midfielder recently reacted negatively to being substituted during England's match against Albania.

"People always talk about Bellingham, and I’ve seen many exaggerated negative articles, which are absolutely unacceptable. Honestly, this surprises me because no key football player wants to be substituted.

For example, such situations often occurred with Rooney and Ronaldo as well. I consider this reaction to be normal," Ferdinand stated in an interview with Madrid Universal.

The England national team has confidently secured their spot in the World Cup, winning all their qualifying matches. Read “Zamin” on Telegram!
