For Michael Owen, Jude Bellingham still has a long way to go before he can be compared to the greatest legends of English football.
Author of a remarkable first half of the season with Real Madrid, which he joined last summer, Jude Bellingham is already one of the favorites for the 2024 Ballon d’Or. But much more is needed to completely seduce Michael Owen . Winner of the prestigious trophy in 2001 and also a veteran of the White House, the former England striker believes that the crack merengue still has to prove himself at the highest level.
“Jude is extraordinary and there is no bigger admirer than me, but we cannot yet say that he is stronger than these players (Frank Lampard and Paul Scholes, editor’s note). He has to perform well for five, six or seven years to be at the same level as them.”asserts the ex-Galactic in an interview given to Boyle Sports. For him, only the repetition of good performances will make him a great player.
“Jude Bellingham would not automatically be better than (Steven) Gerrard, Lampard and Scholes if he wins La Liga, the Champions League and Euro 2024 next yearcontinues the former idol of Liverpool supporters. These players did it for years and years, and they never dropped their level. They have won many titles and also won the Champions League. »
