‘I always practise that’ – Bellingham fuels Jude comparisons with first Dortmund goal

Jobe Bellingham, who scored in his first start for Borussia Dortmund, already knew that big brother Jude would make an appearance.

Jobe scored on his first start for the black and yellow after four years, nine months, and one week after Jude had won the German Cup with a score of 5-0.

The 19-year-old made his full debut 45 minutes later, when he defeated the Mamelodi Sundowns 4-3 in the Club World Cup, which was 15 minutes more than Jude’s defeat against Duisburg in September 2020.

Jobe certainly showed signs of his sibling’s nack of arriving late in the box, and Jude continued to score 24 goals in 132 games for Dortmund before joining Real Madrid in 2023.

In Cincinnati, the goal displayed poise, poise, agility, and ruthlessness. Jobe cushioned the ball away from his marker before firing past the goalkeeper, though with the aid of a slight deflection, after timing his run perfectly.

It’s a really nice bonus, the author says. I’m glad we won, but both the team and I still need to work on a lot of things. Bellingham told Dazn, “I’m really pleased with it.

You need to be really good at arriving late on the edge of the box as a midfielder, but I practice that so many times, not that exact finish.

You are doing really well if you can score and contribute those kinds of goals a certain amount each season.

Jobe may find comparisons to Jude to be tiring, but there is a justification for them.

His runs into the penalty area are similar to those of another English midfielder in terms of timing.

Former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel told Dazn, “It’s sometimes easy for a midfielder to just pass the ball and then stand still.”

“No, he wants to arrive in the box late. When the ball drops, he wants to be there.

He reminds me of Frank Lampard, a player I once played with. Being present and arriving at the right time ensures the achievement of 20 or more goals each season. He’ll likely score a lot of goals for Dortmund, in my opinion.

He’s very direct, which is what I like about him. When he has the ball, he runs forward and passes forward. He specifically wants to arrive at the box on time.

He wouldn’t have scored this goal if he hadn’t passed and then veered off. “The chest control and the volley.”

Christian Vieri, a former Italy and Inter Milan player, said: “He’s going to score a lot of goals because he always goes in the opposite direction. He looks like his brother and moves exactly the same.”
