After arriving from Borussia Dortmund for a substantial sum of 103 million euros, Jude Bellingham immediately disproved the concept that high-priced recruits need to undergo a period of adjustment before they are able to properly stretch their wings.
Since the beginning of the season, the Englishman has been on a roll, scoring goals on a consistent basis and securing victory on a weekly basis.
Furthermore, as a result of his exceptional performance on the field this season, it is not strange to see that fans often discover similarities between Bellingham and the great Zenidine Zidane, who has been following in his footsteps up to this point.
Currently, Bellingham has come up to recognize that Zidane is, in fact, the one who scored his favorite goal. This is done as a way of giving tribute to the guy himself.
According to Telefoot, he responded to the question of which goal was his favorite by saying, “My favorite goal is Zidane’s volley against Leverkusen in the Champions League final!”
Throughout the course of his spectacular career, Zidane has provided a great deal of the most memorable moments on the field.
Nevertheless, his magnificent shot against Bayer Leverkusen in the 2002 Uefa Champions League final in Glasgow will forever be remembered as the highlight of his career, and it seems that Bellingham is of the same opinion.
After having ranked second in the list on many occasions, Bellingham made a statement about his determination to eventually win the Golden Boy award. He said that he was determined to finally get his hands on the prize.
I was irritated during the last three years since I had placed in second place in the Golden Boy competition twice. I attempted to push the boundaries, and I had to finish first,” he remarked. “It wasn’t enough… I wanted to finish first.”
Due to the fact that he received 485 out of a possible 500 points, he emerged as the undisputed favorite, with 97% of the votes falling in his favor.
Nearly half way through the season, the midfielder already has some really impressive figures to show for his efforts. In reference to the number of goals he has scored, Bellingham said that he is a formidable opponent once he is no longer restricted.
“I scored 14 goals in the previous year. During this season, I have already surpassed that record; it is not something that comes naturally to me to score so many goals, and I accept a great deal of responsibility. It was remarked by him that “when I’m free, I’m dangerous.”
