<\/p>\nCHELSEA legend Gianfranco Zola addressed his recent hilarious gaffe that left England star Jude Bellingham laughing his socks off.<\/p>\n
Zola was part of the Channel 4 panel covering the Three Lions' 3-1 victory over Italy at Wembley where Gareth Southgate's men punched their ticket for Euro 2024.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Bellingham, 20, led the brigade after Gianluca Scamacca's opener as he won the penalty that Harry Kane converted to score his first goal and provided the assist for Marcus Rashford's finish.<\/p>\n
The Italian shook off his country's loss and rose above it by praising the Real Madrid superstar's stunning performance as he got something off his chest.<\/p>\n
Zola told Bellingham: "I have to say it makes me laugh, because at 20 years old I was still drinking milk from my mum."<\/p>\n
That was when the star midfielder and the rest of the panel were left in stitches.<\/p>\n
The 57-year-old appeared on talkSPORT earlier today where his viral gaffe was revisited.<\/p>\n And the former striker proved to be a good sport as he couldn't stop giggling along with presenters Alan Brazil and Gabriel Agbonlahor.<\/p>\n Once he regained his composure, the ex-Italy international explained he got "lost in translation". <\/p>\n Brazil said: "I thought your English was very good!\u201d<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Zola responded: \u201cYeah but sometimes I get lost in translation! I didn\u2019t mean that!\u201d<\/p>\n The Chelsea great then finally got the chance to say exactly what he wanted to tell Bellingham after full-time.<\/p>\n Zola said: "The fact is I am still very, very impressed by this young boy.<\/p>\n \u201cNot only in the way he behaves on the pitch, but the maturity, talking, the composure.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/LB-SPORTS-grealish-shirt-copy.jpg\")
