Essence of Football — Jude Bellingham

What quality connects Bellingham’s individual actions?

This brief look at Jude Bellingham considers several sides of his game: one-on-one play, finishing, pace, game intelligence and work without the ball. The assessment dates from August 2023 and shows the potential for development that YouNr1 saw at the time.

Three accompanying video clips form the core of this page. Use them to look closely: which decision precedes an action, and what follows the first touch? The short commentary opens up the observation; the footage leaves room for your own analysis.

Jude Bellingham is already excellent at one-on-one play at 20, has great shooting technique, mental strength, he's fast and his reading of the game is excellent. He's also strong in defense. He should stabilize these outstanding skills. We hope that despite the high level he has already reached, he will continue to work on himself to be even better.
