Jude Bellingham, the young England superstar, has been making waves with his impressive performances on the field. However, not everyone seems to be impressed by his skills. Niclas Fullkrug, the Borussia Dortmund striker, recently took a dig at Bellingham when asked about him in the mixed zone after Germany’s 2-0 win over Hungary.
When questioned if Bellingham had impressed him, Fullkrug shrugged and shook his head before saying, “impressed me not,” accompanied by a cheeky grin. Fullkrug’s response suggests that he may not share the same admiration for Bellingham’s abilities as others do.
Bellingham, who produced a match-winning performance against Serbia, has been gaining praise from fans and pundits alike. SunSport columnist Jack Wilshere was particularly impressed by Bellingham’s ability to take hold of games. Wilshere highlighted Bellingham’s understanding of the game and his willingness to create space for his teammates, such as Phil Foden.
Bellingham himself attributes his success to the support he receives from his family, friends, and teammates. He acknowledges that playing football is the easiest part when surrounded by an amazing support network. The young midfielder has already made a significant impact in Euro 2024, scoring the winning goal against Serbia and helping his team secure a victory.
On the other hand, Fullkrug has had a different experience in the tournament so far. He has been a substitute in both of Germany’s matches and has only managed to find the back of the net once. In their opening game against Scotland, Fullkrug came off the bench and scored in their 5-1 win. In the match against Hungary, he replaced Kai Havertz in the 58th minute.
While Fullkrug may not be impressed by Bellingham’s performances, it is clear that the young Englishman has made a lasting impression on many. His ability to take control of games and create opportunities for his teammates has garnered admiration from fans and experts alike. As the tournament progresses, it will be interesting to see how Bellingham continues to shine on the international stage, proving his worth as a superstar in the making.
