Jude Bellingham expressed his pride at playing his first game for England to Morgan Rogers. The 22-year-old playmaker entered the game after Anthony Gordon was substituted out during England’s 3-0 victory over Greece in the Nations League.

As soon as Lee Carsley’s team came on at the Athens Olympic Stadium on Thursday night, they went into fifth gear and scored two goals in a row. Rogers’ joyful Instagram post about the victory after the game received nearly 50,000 likes.

“When a dream is realized.” “My family and I are extremely proud of this moment!” the Aston Villa player wrote. A lot of people, including Bellingham, Cole Palmer, Ollie Watkins, and others, wrote nice things about Rogers’s start for his country.

The Real Madrid player wrote, “Deserved my brother [three white heart emojis].” It was he who guided England to victory. At the same time, the Chelsea star player said, “Congrats my boy [black heart emoji].”

Rogers got a nice message from Bellingham on his Instagram story, along with two pictures: one from when they were both young England players and the other after England’s game against Greece. The former defender for Birmingham City wrote on his post, “Congrats brother [white heart emoji]!” You’ve come a long way [emoji for crying with laughter].”

The midfielder for Aston Villa replied to the “before and after” post with “From the start [two red heart emojis].” Carsley told reporters after the game that he was glad to give Rogers, Curtis Jones, and Lewis Hall a chance to play on the world stage.

“It’s just important that the players play to their strengths,” said the temporary England manager. In the new year, Thomas Tuchel will take over as permanent manager. “We have a lot of great players; we focused on the ones who were here instead of the ones who weren’t.”

“We talked about this yesterday, about giving players chances, and we’ve seen that tonight.” Personally, I thought Curtis played exceptionally well today, even though he didn’t score a goal. It was a great game, and I’m very proud of him.

“The lack of experience in the team was talked about last night, but these players play at a really high level every week in the Premier League.” Lewis truly shows what a great player he is by being able to step up in that kind of environment and perform so well.

Carsley said, “Same with Morgan Rogers, he’s been really good at Villa. He should have made his senior debut earlier.” Perhaps he could have joined the senior team sooner, but we felt it was important to take our time with him since we hope he’ll be here for a while.
