"They have made big sacrifices". Jeff Sterling sided with fans in the conflict with Bellingham

Famous soccer presenter Jeff Sterling took the side of the fans in their conflict against the striker of the national team of England, Jude Bellingham.

Recall that Bellingham did not like the comments of fans after the match Round of 16 of the Euro 2024 against Slovakia. Then Jude scored a goal at 90+5 minutes and helped to avoid the ignominious departure from the tournament.

England reached the quarterfinals, but fans still criticize the team for the quality of the game.

Jeff Sterling, who took their side in the conflict, understands the fans' outrage.

“The England fans have been nothing but fantastic towards the England players in my opinion," talkSPORT quoted Stelling as saying. - "If you take the praise and take the rich rewards that come with being a professional footballer, you have to take the flack sometimes as well but they haven’t had too much of it.”

“A lot of fans have made big sacrifices to come out here, it’s not cheap,” Stelling said. “They’ve maybe sacrificed a family holiday during the summer to come here instead and support England, so I think they’ve got a right to have their say.

“It’s been small pockets of criticism, nothing more than that.”, Sterling said.

Recall that in the quarterfinals of the Euro England will meet with Switzerland. The match will take place on July 6.
