English football changed the world? Real Madrid s 180 million superstar lost to the national team and just won the Best of the Year

As time enters October, a new national team match day is coming, and the World Cup qualifiers on various continents will also rekindle the battle. Not long ago, England announced the latest national team roster. Surprisingly, Real Madrid superstar, who was just elected England's best player of the season, was defeated!

This player who missed the surprise is Real Madrid's "thigh" Bellingham, and fans who follow La Liga must be familiar with him. In the summer of 2023, Real Madrid brought Bellingham, who was only 20 years old, to the Bernabeu at a sky-high price of 127 million euros. After joining the team, the English star quickly integrated without any adaptation. In his first season on behalf of the Galaxy Battleship, he handed in a full score of 23 goals and 13 assists.

With Mbappe's joining last season, Bellingham was forced to make some sacrifices, and his goals inevitably declined, but 14 assists set a career high. The continued highlight performance has also made Bellingham's value rise. On the more authoritative value statistics website "German Transfer Market", Bellingham's latest value has reached 180 million euros, second only to Barcelona's super genius Yamal.

In the England national team, Bellingham is also a "thigh"-level figure. In the 2024-25 season, he played for England in 8 games, contributing 1 goal and 4 assists. Not long ago, Bellingham successfully defeated Rice and Kane and was elected England's best player of the season with a high vote. However, such a core player was excluded from the new national team roster by head coach Tuchel.

In response, Tuchel said: "No player can get my guarantee of being selected. Players in all positions need to compete for the job. Bellingham deserves to be selected for the national team, but he only started once in Real Madrid this season, and he has not reached the best state. There is no conflict between us, just because his game condition does not meet my requirements. What if key players such as Bellingham and Palmer are injured before the World Cup? What we need is to build a good system, not to rely on individual players. No one can predict the future, so we can never rely on one player!"

In addition to Bellingham, Foden and Gallish, who performed well in the Premier League this season, were also out of the national team. On this international match day, England will face Wales and Latvia one after another. I wonder if Tuchel's willful selection this time will have any impact on the team's performance?
