Jude Bellingham’s distinction accordint to Pep Guardiola

DBasia.news – Pep Guardiola, Manchester City manager, praised Jude Bellingham. The player belonging to Borussia Dortmund, is considered to have the complete package to be the best in the world.

Manchester City will travel to Dortmund headquarters in the 2022-2023 Champions League group phase, Wednesday (26/10) at 02.00 WIB. Guardiola paid special attention to Bellingham.

Bellingham has indeed emerged as an important Dortmund player. He even had the honor of being captain earlier this month.

This is proof of Dortmund’s trust in Bellingham. Even though the player is only 19 years old.

Interestingly, Bellingham had stolen the attention of Guardiola while still playing at Birmingham City. It was at that moment that he saw something special about the player.

“I saw him when he was 17 years old. He not only had quality but there was shouting, kicking and going to the referee,” Guardiola said at a press conference ahead of the game.

“This guy has the mentality and he was already one of the captains of the team when he was 19, that’s quite impressive. It’s about the whole package and we know the quality he has.”

Guardiola’s praise isn’t merely just talk. Bellingham appeared stunning and scored one goal in the first meeting of the two teams at the Etihad Stadium.

No wonder many big clubs have started chasing after Bellingham. It is possible that Dortmund will sell him at a high price next summer.

But implicitly, Guardiola asked Bellingham to stay longer at Dortmund. Manchester City doesn’t seem to be planning on purchasing a new midfielder.

“I think Dortmund is the perfect place for talented young players to come. Maybe Bellingham goes to a top Premier League team and then he won’t obtain playing times.”

“The best way for young players to get better is playing times.”
