Hupu November 21 News Recently, Arsenal legend Wright talked about his views on England player Bellingham when he was a guest on the SticktoFootball program. He said England was "not ready to accommodate" a "black superstar" like Bellingham.

Wright said: "The outside world said that Bellingham did not participate in the celebration. This is a complete lie. They are trying to create a topic because the England team won too easily and did not even concede a goal. They need to find something else to add fuel to the fire and enrich everything. The so-called 'storyline'."

"I'm worried about Bellingham. The reason is simple. He is the kind of person they can't control. With his performance in the game, he is proving to people: 'I am here, I am black, I am proud of it, and I am ready. '"

"I am English, but when I was young, people always said to me: 'But you are not really English. Right? ’ – and I’d say, ‘No, I’m English. ’ I don’t think England is ready for a black star who’s as agile as Bellingham, and you can’t stop him. Playing your best on the court and having the guts to say, ‘Who else? Black players who focus on doing their own thing. I'm not saying that Kante is a 'conformist' or anything like that, that's just his character, but if you have players like Pogba or Bellingham who have that flamboyant aura about them, some people feel that way. Discomfort. Somehow, a player like Bellingham is intimidating to some because of his ability and the impact he can make."

"As a black male, you are taught from a young age: When you go out on the field, just give it your all and keep it. It's ingrained in you to keep a low profile, to put it bluntly, like a 'docile slave.' Because if you're outspoken, black, top-notch, and fearless, that's what Bellingham is facing."source:7m 2vn
