Jude Bellingham said his “wolf” celebration with Trent Alexander-Arnold after scoring the only goal in England’s 1-0 win over Serbia to kick off their Euro 2024 campaign was a nod to the backroom staff.

Bellingham was man-of-the-match in Gelsenkirchen for an all-round outstanding display which lit up an otherwise flat opening night for the ‘Three Lions’ in Germany.

The 20-year-old powered a header into the top corner on 13 minutes from Bukayo Saka’s deflected cross before bowing on one knee alongside Liverpool’s Alexander-Arnold as they both covered their faces with one hand.

“The celebration was from a game we play called ‘Wolf’ and one of the staff always holds his face like that when he doesn’t know what’s going on,” said Bellingham.

“So it was more a celebration for the backroom staff who put in so much work every day and they won’t receive any awards like this (man-of-the-match trophy) or get to have the moments we get to have on the pitch.

“But we value them so much and it’s important going through the tournament that we keep that atmosphere.”

The game in question is a murder mystery and sees one player selected as the ‘wolf’, while everybody has their eyes closed, with the others then having to work out who was picked.
