Sunderland player Jobe Bellingham is the younger brother of Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham. Jude Bellingham has now established himself as one of the biggest football talents in the world. He transferred from Borussia Dortmund to Real Madrid in the summer transfer window for €103 million. Bellingham has already started proving that he is worth every penny of his hefty price tag.
Due to such rise in popularity of the Bellingham, Jude Bellingham’s younger brother Jobe decided that instead of Bellingham, he would have ‘Jobe’ written at the back of his shirt. He did this as Jude Bellingham is already known as Bellingham, and Jobe wants to step out of his older brother’s shadow and create an identity for himself.
While Jude Bellingham is creating headlines at Real Madrid, Jobe has also been turning heads at Sunderland. Jobe has now become a regular starter at Sunderland, and his manager Tony Mowbray is full of praise for Jobe.
What has been said about Jobe Bellingham:
Sunderland manager Mowbray said:
“He is very mature for his age. He acts like a seasoned pro, and demands standards. Even in small-sided games, he wants to win. You can see he has a very focused, driven thought pattern on where he is going and how he is going to get there. And that is to try to be excellent in everything you do. It’s a great mentality. He is not in the team because of his name, it is football ability and his competitive edge and athleticism and technique.”“He works hard every day. As coaches we want to protect him in three-game weeks so sometimes when he comes off it is to give him a break. We should just enjoy the journey with him and see where he gets to as time rolls on. He doesn’t want to be compared with his brother, but we have coaches here who helped his brother as a 17/18-year-old. They can gauge where he is, and he has some amazing tools. If he listens, works hard and competes like he does he won’t go far wrong. He has confidence, belief and has a good football brain.”
Jobe has managed to impress his manager as well as others who have seen him play. It is likely that in a few years, Jude Bellingham will no longer be the only widely known Bellingham. 18-year-old Jobe was also a part of the England U-19 team which played the European Championship Qualifications. Jobe will hope he can keep this up and maybe even catch up to his brother Jude in a few years.
