Jude Bellingham is watching his younger brother's growth.
Thunderland drew 2-2 in the 23rd round of the 2024-2025 English Championship (second division) against Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park in Blackburn, England, at 00:00 a.m. on the 27th (Korea time). Due to the draw, Thunderland failed to chase the lead.
It was Jude Bellingham's appearance that drew more attention than Thunderland's game. Bellingham is considered one of the best players in the world. Bellingham, who was born in 2003, was highly anticipated as he grew up in Birmingham City. He headed to Borussia Dortmund as he was considered the greatest talent of all time in England.
Bellingham headed to Real, the world's top club, in 2023, after growing quickly at Dortmund and becoming the best central midfielder in the German Bundesliga. As soon as he headed to Real, Bellingham grew by two more stages. Last season Bellingham won the Spanish La Liga and European Champions League trophies with a fantastic record of 23 goals and 13 assists in 42 games. Bellingham, who immediately became a Ballon d'Or-class player, ranked third at the 2024 Ballon d'Or Awards.
Why did Bellingham appear in the UK in the middle of the season to watch a second division game. It was because of his younger brother, Jov Bellingham. His younger brother, Jove Bellingham, is also growing up with a lot of attention in England. Grew up in Birmingham just like my brother, but moved to Thunderland in the summer of 2023.
Jove Bellingham, who immediately took the lead after moving to Thunderland, captivated English Premier League (EPL) clubs with seven goals and one assist in 45 games. Dortmund, who raised his brother Jude Bellingham, including the EPL club, aimed for his younger brother again, but Jove Bellingham remained as he decided he still needed to grow further.
So far, Jove Bellingham's choice seems to be a success. Although he has played a more defensive role than last season, Jove Bellingham is looking at a career high record with four goals and three assists in 19 games. He is proving that he can play offensive roles like his brother, but he can also play in defensive midfielder positions.
Jude Bellingham flew all the way to England to support his two-year-old brother's growth. It was possible because I had some free time in Real Madrid's schedule. After the match against Sevilla on the 23rd, Spain's La Liga has a short break until January 4. Jude Bellingham chose to go to England to return to his hometown for a while and spend the end of the year with his family.
Fans are also interested in how fast Jov Bellingham will catch up with his brother's growth in the future. Jove Bellingham's growth is of greater interest as Thunderland sets up an environment in which he can challenge to be promoted to the EPL this season. Next summer, the European big league challenge is likely.
