England midfielder Jude Bellingham (20, Real Madrid) made his presence known with 1 goal and 1 assist in 5 games at last year’s Qatar World Cup when he was 19 years old. He adapted England’s offense and defense based on his active activity and had no notable flaws, so he was evaluated as a ‘hexagon player’. He moved from Birmingham City, England’s second division, to Dortmund, Germany, for 26 million pounds (about 43.1 billion won) in 2020. At the time, Birmingham City was going through a serious financial crisis due to the fallout from the coronavirus, but they were immediately revived with the large transfer fee given to the 17-year-old. The club retired Bellingham’s kit, number 22. Bellingham donned the uniform of Spanish giants Real Madrid for a transfer fee of 103 million euros (about 146.3 billion won) last June after the Qatar World Cup. The ransom was raised more than three times.
The FIFA Center for International Sports Research (CIES) evaluates a player’s value based on contract period, appearances, and attacking points. CIES released a report this year showing that Bellingham is worth more than 200 million euros (about 284.1 billion won), the highest in the It was released consecutively from January to April.
Bellingham is currently creating the most excitement in the league as the 15th round of the 2023-2024 Spanish La Liga season is underway. He is responsible for 11 of the 33 goals (2 assists) of the leader Real Madrid (12 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss, 38 points) and is first in scoring. Including the European Champions League (UCL), 15 goals (4 assists) in 17 official matches. Last month, Bellingham set a record of 14 goals in 15 official games, surpassing the record for most goals (13 goals) in the first 15 games since joining Real Madrid held by Cristiano Ronaldo (38, Al Nasr).

The awards given to the most promising players also go to Bellingham. He was recently chosen as a ‘Golden Boy’ winner by the Italian media Tuto Sport. Established in 2003, the Golden Boy is an award given to the best player under the age of 21 on the European stage. Many winners have become top players, including Lionel Messi (36, Inter Miami) in 2005, Sergio Agüero (35, retired) in 2007, Mbappe in 2017, and Erling Holland (23, Manchester City) in 2020. Before that, in October, he received the Tropez Copa, a promising player award given by France Football, the organizer of the Ballon d’Or.
With his shooting ability, speed, and football intelligence, he can play a variety of positions, but his main position is midfielder. He scored 12 goals in 92 Bundesliga games over three seasons at Dortmund. Of course, as a midfielder, he has excellent scoring sense. However, he scored 11 goals in 13 league games in Spain this season. Scored a goal almost every game. What is the secret to the Bellingham midfielder’s ability to score at the level of a main striker?
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti (64, Italy) devises a tailored strategy for Bellingham. He uses players like Vinicius Junior (23) and Rodrygo (22, Brazil) who are good at breaking into the flanks as his two best players. And underneath, Bellingham is positioned as an attacking midfielder. When the opposition focuses on the forwards and space opens up in the middle, Bellingham digs in and connects with a shot. Bellingham is in the process of clearing up concerns that arose due to the departure of Karim Benzema (36, Al-Etihad), who played as the team’s top gun last season. Commentator Han Jun-hee said, “The combination of tactics derived from Coach Ancelotti’s experience leading a number of attacking midfielders and Bellingham’s individual skills, which have no flaws, create a synergy,” adding, ” Everyone knows about Real Madrid’s current tactics, but “Even after seeing Bellingham, who is very active and handles the ball well, we can’t stop him,” he said. In addition, he has good defensive skills, making him an excellent all-rounder. Bellingham is also known as the successor to legendary midfielder Zinedine Zidane (51, retired). Zidane wore the number 5 shirt at Real Madrid when he was a player, and Bellingham inherited it.
Bellingham also created a stir with its unique ceremony. After scoring a goal, he attracted a lot of attention with his simple but subdued celebration, staring at the audience with his arms spread wide over his shoulders. A new trend is emerging, with stars from the world of football as well as other sports showcasing the Bellingham Ceremony as it is an easy move to follow. Tennis player Carlos Alcaras (20, Spain), who also followed suit, said of the soccer player of the same age, “He is a very talented top player,” and “I have spoken to him, and he’s a great person as well.”
