The true appearance of a real star comes when he spreads his good influence widely.

Jude Bellingham (21), the core of the English national team and Real Madrid's star, gave an example with a good gesture from his warm character. On a video call with a child admitted to a children's hospital in the Netherlands, he asked how he was and encouraged him.

British media Daily Mail reported on the 13th (Korea time) 'Bellingham, the ace of Real and a superstar of the English national team, had an emotional video call with a young patient admitted to a Dutch children's hospital'

What is noteworthy is that the video call was not planned in advance, but was improvised. Bellingham received a completely unexpected call, but he did not panic and had a pleasant conversation with a child patient in warm words.

This `surprise video call' came about because of his friend Noah Ohio (21), who played for Bellingham and England's under-16 team. Ohio, a dual Dutch and English national, is currently a member of the Dutch FC Utrecht and has also been selected for the Dutch under-21 national team.

Ohio visited the Princess Maxima Children's Cancer Hospital in Utrecht with colleagues from the Netherlands' under-21 national team and greeted a boy fighting cancer. When Ohio asked this boy "Which player do you like the most?", the answer came back immediately "Bellingham". Then a colleague standing next to Ohio told the boy "Bellingham is an Ohio friend"

Ohio then asked the boy "Do you want me to call you?", and immediately took out his cell phone and made a video call.

Bellingham, who took off his top and answered the phone lying face down as if he was undergoing treatment after training, quickly grasped the situation and exchanged warm conversations with the boy with a big smile. I asked how he was doing, and he encouraged me. He made his dream come true by taking photos. It is an anecdote that tells us Bellingham's usual character.
