You have to have that dog in you

(Sky Sports)

Jude Bellingham is ready to be England’s dog of war when they face France in the World Cup quarterfinal on Saturday night. While he may be quiet and unassuming off the pitch, Bellingham has been running games on it - revealing he has a bit of “dog” in him when he crosses the white line. “I think when you’ve got the dog, you’re just born with it, really,” he said. “The way I was raised in football, you had to have that dog in you a little bit and I go into the games knowing every game’s a war and you got to be up for it. I think that’s something I have.“There was a foul (in the Senegal game) that I didn’t think was a foul, I kind of held onto the ball and moved up, me and the lad were both just staring at each other for a minute straight and I just think, ‘don’t be the one that loses’.“I feel like off the pitch I’m a nice guy but when I get onto the pitch, something kind of takes over me, to be honest. I feel like you’ve got no friends out there except the ones wearing the same kit.
