Jude Bellingham, forward of the England team, went from villain for having hit Argentine Valentín Barco on the back of the head to leader in a snap of fingers, after it was revealed that the Englishman's reaction was due to the South American player's mockery at the end of the game where the Albiceleste eliminated the “Three Lions”.

The video of the discord: This is how Barco provoked the English

The above is evident from a video circulating on social networks, where it was possible to see how Barco, after Lautaro Martínez's goal, to the frustration of the English, runs in front of several of them celebrating the Argentine victory in a clear provocation and mockery for the score that represented the defeat.

The English were left with a bad taste in their mouths due to the attitude of the French Strasbourg player and at the end of the match in the midfield, when Bellingham saw the Argentine player, he complained to him and did not hesitate to hit him on the back of the head with the palm of his hand.

Pushing and tension after the Bellingham coup

Bellingham's attitude was about to lead to a high-level conflict because the Argentine players stood up for their teammate, while Gonzalo Montiel removed the Englishman from the site to avoid a bigger problem.

Barco, who barely added 13 minutes against Jordan and has spent the rest of the World Cup on the substitute bench, was the target of English criticism, who considered the South American youngster's celebration as an excessive provocation..."

For the English, Barco's attitude was illogical, especially because one of the maxims of fair play establishes that one must be great in defeat, but above all in victory, and Barco must have understood that his attitude would have consequences that would have clouded the outcome of the match.

They accuse Argentina of “consent” from FIFA

The English media are questioning that FIFA continued to indulge Argentina with calls such as Enzo Fernández's elbow on Elliot Anderson at the beginning of the match, but that the American whistler Ismail Elfath did not have the personality to even get him a yellow card.

In short, Barco's mockery that angered Bellingham can be clearly seen in videos circulating on social networks and where the Englishman's reaction is justified, which almost led to a fight with dire consequences.
