Jude Bellingham has taken Real Madrid and World Football by a storm right now!
He's gathered 15 goals + 4 assists in just 16 games for Real Madrid breaking the records of Puskas, Di Stefano and Ronaldo himself. All of this while just recently turning 20 years old, with his entire career ahead of him.
What he's doing is unheard of, perhaps only Ronaldo Fenomenon himself had a better start to the season than him as a 20 years old.
The differentiator however is his impact in the game, he's truly bossing the free role at Madrid contrubuting in goals, assists, key passes, dribbles, crosses, headers, flicks, finishing, playmaking, 1-2 passing, off ball movements, interceptions, tackles, positioning, strength, dominating, work rate and even leadership.. There is truly nothing that this boy can't do!
I genuinely cannot point a single weakness in his game right now, he's top of the charts for almost all attributes since the start of the season. So these achievements so far in the season brings the question, What is his ceiling as a footballer provided he continues this streak? Generational? All-Timer? GOAT candidate?
Depends on who surrounding him. This is a team game. Any of you who watch Dortmund like I do would not have predicted this kind of production. Even when he was at Dortmund, he played with Haaland, Sancho, and Reus, but did not play at this level.
So, what changed? He moved to Madrid where every player is elite. Even the manager is elite who knows how to manage elite players. I predict his status will rise and fall along with the status of Real Madrid.
You seem like a guy who knows football.
Please tell me how is Bellingham suddenly this good, seriously there's no logic, i really mean it.
I used to be one of those who said Real Madrid will slow down Bellingham's growth, but i proved to be very wrong.
If elite players is causing that performance then why other RM players aren't able to replicate his levels.
His utilisation. The next manager may use him differently. Benzema didn’t bang in many goals last season, but Bellingham seem to be the one scoring most. So what happened to the others that were doing it? It’s simple — how he’s being used.
I think the manager gets a lot of credit.
