Wayne Rooney raises the Jude Bellingham point prior to Birmingham City and Jobe’s reunion

Jude Bellingham, a world-beater for England and Real Madrid, is a role model for the future generation of Birmingham City stars, according to Wayne Rooney.

Since being the youngest player ever to play for the Blues in 2019, Bellingham has quickly climbed to the top. After playing for the Blues first team for one season and Borussia Dortmund for three, Bellingham finalized a record-breaking £115 million move to Real Madrid in the summer.

With 13 goals in his first 14 games, Bellingham has surprised no one by emerging as a vital member of Los Galacticos. In the past few months, he has also performed admirably for England.

Now that Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are nearing retirement, Bellingham, who was named the world’s best under-21 player at the most recent Ballon d’Or honors, is the favorite to take home the top honor. Since moving to the second city, Rooney has been all praise for Brummie Bellingham, and he wants the club’s younger players to learn from one of their own.

Rooney exclaimed, “What he’s doing is incredible.” “For gamers nationwide, not just for those in this area. A young player should be inspired when they witness someone with the drive to leave their home country and succeed there—say, in Germany—then continue to pursue their dreams of moving to Spain and playing for Real Madrid, one of the largest teams in the world.

When Blues play Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on Saturday, they will be reunited with Jobe, the younger Bellingham. Jobe chose to leave Blues in the summer, and since then, he has been a constant fixture in Sunderland’s starting lineup, which is in seventh position.

Rooney remarked of Jobe, 18, “I know of him but I don’t know him as a person.” Although I’m sure there will be happy memories of him around the club, we want to defeat Sunderland on Saturday, and he is a Sunderland player.

“In football, that occurs all the time. Players advance. He won’t receive any preferential treatment; instead, we’ll prepare for him in the same manner that we do for the other players.

I’m not sure if the club or he made the decision to go, so I can’t comment on that. I’m concentrating on the players present. Although I’m confident in his bright future and he’s a gifted player, my attention is solely on the players in this game.
