Jude Bellingham is older than he looks, but he manages to maintain a respectable work ethic and impeccable manners that betray a well-reared childhood.
The Englishman, who is noteworthy for being only 19 years old, has reached the pinnacle of achievement.
The midfielder will now follow in the footsteps of Zinedine Zidane, Cristiano Ronaldo, and David Beckham, who all made a lasting impression on the Bernabeu stadium with their remarkable abilities and poise, by joining Real Madrid in a £115 million deal.
The teenager’s notable achievements can be attributed to the influence of his mother, Denise, whom he affectionately refers to as ‘queen,’ and his father, Mark, who initially served as his primary source of inspiration in football until the emergence of Wayne Rooney.
Sibling Jobe, 17, is following in the footsteps of his older sibling by rising through Birmingham City’s levels and attracting interest from Premier League teams.
The strong sense of familial unity that the Bellingham family displayed is responsible for Bellingham’s remarkable achievements at such a young age.
The mother’s role
In December, Jude, on his way to performing his duties as an England national team member at the World Cup in Qatar, unintentionally disclosed that his mother Denise, a human resources professional, still makes his bed.
His teammates were highly amused by this episode and proceeded to joke around with him when he got back to Gareth Southgate’s training base.
However, he also acknowledged the significance of the matriarch of the Bellingham clan in his ascent to success.
He continued by stating that the role his mother is undertaking is of significant magnitude.
Currently, I believe that this function holds paramount importance, surpassing even that of my coaches and supervisors, to be candid.
She has provided support to Jude in maintaining his stability, amidst the allure of achieving global recognition in the realm of professional soccer.
In the year 2020, Borussia Dortmund made a financial transaction of £22 million to the club from which the individual in question, who had a personal connection to it since childhood, originated. This payment occurred subsequent to the individual’s exceptional performance during a particular season, resulting in the retirement of his No22 shirt by the aforementioned team.
Denise accompanied Jude to Germany and provided assistance in managing his affairs during his settlement, while Mark, a former police sergeant, remained in the Midlands with their younger son, Jobe.
The parents made a sacrifice in order to provide adequate support for both of their sons. By allowing Denise to assist Jude in maintaining his focus on football and preventing him from being influenced by the financial temptations often faced by young and talented football players.
