Ian Wright's remarks are drawing attention amid growing criticism of Jude Bellingham, who expressed dissatisfaction with the order to replace him in the A-match.
Wright said on his YouTube channel on the 21st (Korea time) that he is worried about Jude"told the rhyme. He said "People like players like N'Golo Kante. He is a `humble black man' and `because he does his best at his job.'But when Paul Pogba or Bellingham players give off energy, people don't take it well. Sometimes they feel like people are afraid of their abilities." He defended "If you are a competitive player like Jude, you will never like to be replaced"
Bellingham, who moved from Birmingham City to Dortmund (Germany) in 2020, became one of the best players in the world when he joined Real Madrid (Spain) in 2023. In Euro 2024, he continues to play an outstanding role, contributing to the final of the English national team. However, Wright believes that some British media are promoting prejudice against Bellingham because of his skin color.

The same goes for European teams that have long accepted immigrants for historical and economic reasons. In particular, many African players have played in the England national team. However, despite the outstanding performances of several players, opinions on racism have continued. In 2018, Raheem Sterling publicized the issue by expressing his dissatisfaction with the media's description of a black player through social media after being racist by Chelsea fans.
