Jude Bellingham has the potential to become one of the best midfielders in the world and he intends to follow in the footsteps of his idol Zinedine Zidane.
England international Jude Bellingham is a fervent admirer of Zinedine Zidane. And just like the former number 10 of the Blues when he played at the White House, the former Borussia Dortmund player opted for number 5 when he joined the Madrid ranks.
In an interview with Téléfoot, the 20-year-old midfielder recently confided his admiration for the former darling of the France team. “Zidane was one of the best midfielders of all time. I look at compilations of him: he’s someone I admire a lot, and I follow in his footsteps by wearing his number. My favorite Zidane goal? The one against Leverkusen, in the Champions League final! “.
For his part, the 98 Ballon d’Or also praised Bellingham when he arrived at Real. “Bellingham is an important player, a player of the future, a player ready for Real Madrid! I hope he has a good career. »
