Former Euro 2008 winning Spain midfielder Antonio Marcos Senna has urged Real Madrid fans not to compare Jude Bellingham with legendary player Zinedine Zidane. The English midfielder still needs time to prove himself with Los Blancos, he revealed to Marca on Monday. ( superpg1688 )
Bellingham joined Real Madrid from Borussia Dortmund last summer for an initial fee of 103 million euros, before the 20-year-old midfielder began his career with the club. The Whites are outstanding with 10 goals and 3 assists from all competitions this season.
His goalscoring and ability to pass from deep to break down opposition defences, has earned him comparisons to legend Zidane, who played with Real Madrid from 2001-2006 before leading the Whites. Won 1 La Liga title, 1 Champions League, 1 UEFA Super Cup, 1 Intercontinental and 2 Spanish Super Cups, but Senna sees it as too fast. It’s too much to compare the English midfielder to an all-time great like Zidane.
‘Such comparisons are not helpful. Bellingham is a youngster just starting out in La Liga,’ Senna said. ‘It is true that he started with a great record. And I don’t think anyone expected that. Even himself’
‘He is a talented player who can define his era. But comparing him to Zidane at the moment is too early.’
‘Zidane is a legend with a great legacy. You should wait at least three seasons with Real Madrid to see if Bellingham can have something similar.’
