(VN88) – Jude Bellingham can be started in the England – Iran match tonight. That will be the World Cup greeting of a young star who shows leadership qualities very early.
Now Bellingham is too famous. In theory, he is even the most potential morning star in the world after being awarded the NxGn award in 2022 by Goal.
Any of us will be surprised with the information posted by Vn88.cx, the wheel of time has turned so fast that when the seniors fought in the 2018 World Cup, this guy had not even played professional football.
4 years at rocket speed
Three months after the “Three Lions” were eliminated by Croatia in the World Cup semi-finals in Russia, Jude Bellingham played his first match for Birmingham City’s U23 team (and scored the only goal of the match). At that time, he was only 15 years old, not even old enough to get a temporary driver’s license in the foggy country.
But just four years later, the midfielder has been assessed as being able to play an important role in England at the 2022 World Cup.
In the midfield of the current “Three Lions”, the commentator of Vn88.cx will definitely kick the main one. But the question of who will play with him is still unanswered. Liverpool captain and England fulcrum in 2018 Jordan Henderson is 32 years old this year. He is only fit enough to play 90 minutes every 3 games since the beginning of the season.
Kalvin Phillips, Rice’s hard-core player in the journey to the runner-up at EURO 2020, has played very little in the new Manchester City shirt this season. Which means, in theory, the chess is going to Bellingham.
Being given such an important role in the first World Cup is a huge burden for any player, let alone a 19-year-old.
But Bellingham was no ordinary teenager. Even football critic of Vn88 mobile said that at this age, he is no longer a stranger to the captain’s armband of Borussia Dortmund, one of Germany’s powerful clubs. Bellingham has worn it several times in the Bundesliga and UEFA Champions League.
As a famous football newspaper Vn88 Daily Sport, Bellingham’s ability to constantly rotate his head to capture information and advantage on the battlefield and explosive qualities, gave birth to Bellingham’s star moments. surprised. Just two months ago, Bellingham released a trailer (summary) of what he could do in Qatar during the 3-3 draw between England and Germany in the UEFA Nations League.
He was awarded the Man of the Match award after his outstanding performance with his elder brother Rice. Together, they “beat” the formidable duo Ilkay Gundogan and Joshua Kimmich, who have a total of 132 caps for the national team.
Bellingham closed that game with the most correct passes (41/45, 91%), most passes in the bottom third, most successful tackles (4) and also won the dispute. more doubles than any other player on the field (8). Surprisingly, it was only his 8th start for England.
Fans were surprised but he was probably not that surprised.
Riding on the wave of expectations
After the suffocating Der Klassiker (German Classics) match against Bayern Munich in October, Vn88cx asked Bellingham how he was able to perform so consistently brilliantly while still dealing with pressure. rapidly increasing over time.
Laughing freely, Bellingham said: “I have really good associates around me. I always keep my feet on the ground but also always want to get better. I think I can always improve.”
Later that month, he also told the Bundesliga’s homepage that his mental strength was forged from his time at Birmingham, the club he had been with since the age of 8, until joining Dortmund at the age of 17. Going abroad at that age, especially for an English player, is a decision that is not only confident and brave, but also requires a certain maturity before a certain age.
“Everything you want, you always have to work hard to achieve. That is the question that Vn88.cx asked this young player. And if you haven’t, you have to have something inside of you that pushes you to work harder, to get there,” Bellingham said, not sounding like a guy under 20.
Coach Pep Guardiola called Bellingham’s aggressive mentality “special” after watching him concede Manchester City in this season’s Champions League group stage encounter. And also in the European arena, there is an expensive detail that has appeared both in the Europa League and also from last season.
