• The actual rift began due to the "Hey Jude" Adidas commercial on the eve of the Euros, which some England players considered disrespectful and diminishing to them by portraying Bellingham as the sole star of the team.

• Team leaders Kane, Walker, and Rice had Bellingham's name added as the fourth captain of the team before the Euros.
However, Bellingham's leadership did not extend beyond being a media announcement, a decision that displeased many players, including Palmer and Gordon. Many players do not respect Bellingham and mock his motivational speeches as a leader. They believe that the media and Adidas are inflating Bellingham's image and that he does not possess these leadership qualities at all.
Yeah I read that as well. Haven’t heard or read anything about “ wrote the script” is this what he’s supposed to have said?
