Away from football, he has a tight-knit support network and is clearly taking their advice on board.<\/p>\n<h2>Mouth<\/h2>\n<p>Listen to Bellingham and you do not hear a typical 20-year-old. As his former Dortmund boss Edin Terzic told Mail Sport last season: \u2018Jude is the oldest 19-year-old player in the world.\u2019 His thoughts and words are original and engaging.<\/p>\n<h2>Heart<\/h2>\n<p>There is a definite desire to be the best. Call it passion, aura, ego \u2014 there is a unique energy about Bellingham that comes from within. He is not afraid to dig out more senior team-mates, but the motivation is his will to win.<\/p>\n<h2>Feet<\/h2>\n<p>What Bellingham does with his feet is almost second nature now. We have come to expect deftness of touch and power of shot. He can manipulate a ball to his will and his use of it is efficient and effective. There is no showboating or excess. He has scored five goals in his first four matches for Real Madrid, but we also see him put the boot in to break up attacks.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/13\/21\/75401991-0-image-a-52_1694638592260.jpg\" height=\"532\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>He was lauded by his manager Gareth Southgate (right) after the match, with Bellingham now scoring in five of the last six games he&#8217;s played in both for England and Real Madrid<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/13\/21\/75402019-0-image-a-47_1694638497180.jpg\" height=\"951\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>It was his second goal for the Three Lions, with Bellingham (pictured) having also scored five goals in four games for his new side Real Madrid this season\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Lungs\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>It is all very well having the technical craft, but the best modern players must graft, too, and Bellingham certainly does that. The No 10 role to which he now appears best suited was once the preserve of the luxury player. Bellingham, though, will run the game AND run all day.<\/p>\n<h2>Head\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>Aside from technical ability \u2014 his first England goal was a header \u2014 it is speed of thought that elevates Jude\u2019s game.<\/p>\n<p>His first touch has been calculated, and as good as executed, long before the ball enters his domain. Whatever cheques his brain is writing, his body is able to cash them in.<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking Off\u00a0is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football, launching with a preview show today and every week this season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube , Apple Music and Spotify<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/08\/02\/636x90_facebook_ad_sport.png\" width=\"636\" height=\"90\"><br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12515575\/An-anatomy-superstar-Jude-Bellingham-fast-learner-hes-not-afraid-dig-team-mates-order-win-speed-thought-elevates-game-level.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An anatomy of a superstar: Jude Bellingham is a fast learner, he&#8217;s not afraid to dig out his team-mates in<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
