Jude Bellingham stepped into big boots when she chose Zinédine Zidane Vitonen as the game number. However, the Englishman has exceeded expectations.
Jude Bellingham’s trademark is a familiar sight in Madrid. Aop
God created Jude Bellingham for those who had no chance to see Zinédine Zidana.
The throws in Somme have a seed of truth, as Bellingham resembles a French legend in many different ways, but will return to it later.
The Union of Bellingham and Real Madrid was written in the stars when the boy was a child.
– My dad had a real Madrid shirt. Zidane read on the back and number five. I always asked him who this guy you are using, Bellingham recalls.
Dad always replied that when Little Jude becomes a little older, he shows his son on YouTube, who is this mysterious Zidane.
– In a way, the circle closed when I moved to Real Madrid. My dad gave it a shirt to me.
And now Bellingham carries the iconic number of Real Madrid.

The contact with the midfield English is a zidan -like silky and high -speed game. Bellingham’s feeding skills also dazzle.
However, Madridisto’s hearts The 21-year-old skill has melted with its unimaginable solution at the end of the game. Bellingham has hit six extra time goals since he arrived in Madrid in the summer of 2023.
It is a cheeky amount for a midfielder who plays really conscientiously in both directions. In additional time statistics, Bellingham is only in Europe throughout Europe of Atlético Madrid’s Norwegian striker Alexander Sørloth (8).
“I prefer to go goals with extra time than in 15 minutes, although it may be a bit burdened by the heart of me and fans,” Bellingham said.
The last -minute goals are suitable for Real Madrid, who has made art in incredible endings over the years – especially in Euro games.
– It’s part of the club’s history. I’m new here, but I’ve had TV since I was little. I don’t even remember since I have been following Madrid’s comebacks, which I thought this was by no means possible.
“I believed in myself”

Zidane also made a few memorable solutions in his career. Volley hit in the Champions League final against Leverkusen will never be forgotten.
In addition to gaming skills, 186 centimeters Bellingham also physically resembles 185-centimeter Zidan. In addition, the elegant mobility styles of the gentlemen are mistakenly the same.
When Zidane once moved to Real Madrid, he was almost thirty. Bellingham moved to Spain at the age of 20. However, the new country, the new language, the new culture and the new climate did not prevent him from blasting the bank in his opening season.
– I believed in myself, but I didn’t know that everything would go so well, Bellingham thought in his opening season, which ended with the Champions League and the Spanish League victory.
61 %
An exceptionally mature young man rotten 19 La Liga goals in the last season in 28 games. This season, the pace has not been quite as dizzying, partly due to the change in the playground. Kylian Mbappén With the arrival, Bellingham is now playing below.
Midfield Maestro no longer rises as fast in the box to finish, but instead he gives a little more key passes and defends more.
As a result, Bellingham will not reach the level of Mbappé this season, but if only the leveling and winning goals are taken into account, the Englishman is still the king of Madrid.
As many as 20 of Bellingham’s 33 Real goals have been either a winning goal or a drawing point. Thus, as many as 61 % of relevant goals are important. The reading is the best in Real Madrid. For example, 52 % (21/11) are relevant to Mbappé.
Will Bellingham hit a decisive staple again when Real Madrid meets Real Sociedad in the Spanish Cup semi -final on Tuesday? The man started the match with a 1-0 win with a handsome pass, but the match pair is still fully open.
The game starts at 10:30 pm Finnish time, and Iltalehti Plus subscribers can follow the bellingham and partners as a live broadcast of this story.
