After a first season of adaptation in the Borussia Dortmund jersey, Jobe Bellingham clearly displays his ambitions. Arriving as a young talent to be developed, the 20-year-old English midfielder now believes he has reached a milestone and wants to establish himself as a true executive of the German collective. During the BVB summer tour to Japan, the former Sunderland player sent a strong message, ensuring that he was no longer in a learning phase but ready to take on more responsibilities according to Bild.
“I’ve played a lot of matches in my career, I’m not a young kid anymore. There are a lot of players who are younger than me”Bellingham said. Aware of the expectations placed on him, he also explains that he worked intensely during the summer to return in the best conditions: “I went to Birmingham, I worked with people I’ve known for a long time. I followed the club program and even added a little extra work. I just wanted to be in the best shape possible. » The midfielder now wants to confirm himself on the pitch, in particular with Felix Nmecha, with whom he hopes to form a real reference in the Borussia midfield: “I don’t want to say too much, but next season we can expect big things from Felix and I. I feel more and more comfortable in the club, our connection works better and better. » The message got through.
