Football - FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 - Round of 16 - England v Senegal - Al Bayt Stadium, Al Khor, Qatar - December 4, 2022England's Jude Bellingham celebrates after the match as England progress to the quarter finals - REUTERSPIX: Jude Bellingham’s outstanding display in England’s 3-0 World Cup win over Senegal announced the 19-year-old’s arrival among the global elite but now comes the biggest test so far of his young career.
“I think he’s a fantastic player. He has everything with and without the ball, presses really well, gets around the pitch, tackles,“ said captain Harry Kane. High praise indeed, but it is unlikely to go to his head -- Bellingham is accustomed to accolades and well used to defying age expectations.At 16 years and 38 days old, the son of a police sergeant became the youngest player to debut in the first team at his boyhood club Birmingham City and 25 days later became the youngest player to score for the team.
At last year’s Euros, Bellingham became the youngest England player to have played at a major tournament and, at that time, the youngest player from any country to have featured in the European Championship. Another former United captain-turned-pundit, Gary Neville, was impressed by the way Bellingham has coped on the biggest stage without any hint of being overawed.
“I don’t think we could have predicted how quickly Bellingham could mature. In the last five months that has gone to another level,“ he said.
