The last legend to surrender to Bellingham: “he is better than anything we’ve seen”
Jude Bellingham ‘s letter of introduction to Real Madrid is being the big news in European football at the start of the season. The English midfielder has surprised everyone and everyone by his meteoric adaptation, his rise in Ancelotti ‘s team and, above all, by his ease in deciding games: 10 goals in 10 games.
Numerous players and former players, especially from England, perform at the level shown by the international. The latest to praise Bellingham is Paul Scholes , legendary Manchester United midfielder .
“I think Jude Bellingham , for his age and what he has achieved so far in his short career, is better than anything we have seen,” said Scholes , United’s one club man for 20 seasons. “He has gone to one of the biggest clubs in the world, Real Madrid , and continues to play as if he were at Birmingham! He just stands out a lot,” adds Scholes.
“It is difficult for me to compare him with anyone, he stands out on his own at the moment,” Scholes continues in an interview with Eurosport in which he highlights the maturity of the 20-year-old player. “He started at Birmingham and then decided to go to Dortmund, which seems like the right decision for him, considering what has happened in recent years. “It was a really brave move for him, but he’s such a motivated and determined and talented guy that nothing seems to faze him,” he says.
“I’m sure he’s thinking about the Ballon d’Or , because of the way he is at the moment. You try to look for a chink in his armor. Is he a bad boy? Could he go off the rails? He doesn’t seem like it. He is very intelligent and well-spoken, and has a great family behind him. There is no weakness in him. I see no reason why he can’t be one of the best there has been in the next 10 years,” continues the former player.
“He can go as far as he wants and he has already come a long way. He is at Real Madrid, he could win League and Champions titles. That will be his ambition and he is at the club where, historically, he wins the big trophies,” he points out.
Paul Scholes , however, is concerned that Bellingham, due to his style of play, is an injury-prone footballer. “But the way he plays, he will get injured. He plays with a lot of hustle and he is a big lad. He is going round and round all the time. I hope to God he doesn’t get hurt because he could easily surpass Shilton ‘s record (125) for England “, Scholes closes.
