He said: "We had a good defensive shape and showed character. The staff set up a gameplan that was perfect for this game.
"With the ball we tried stuff regardless of whether it came off or not - but we showed perseverance to get the win."
Curtis Jones, Lewis Hall and Morgan Rogers all made their senior debuts in Athens and Bellingham is encouraged by the talent surrounding him at international level.
He said: "We're all exciting players, we want to get on the ball and be creative.
"We're going to lose the ball and I think it's amazing that regardless of how many times we tried and lost it, we carried on doing it and that was the most important thing in the end, I think."
