Jude Bellingham will officially wear one of the iconic jersey numbers at Real Madrid and the jersey number 5 was once worn by one of Real Madrid's legendary players, Zinedine Zidane. It seems that Bellingham really wants this jersey number and he has also thanked Jesus Vallejo for agreeing to give him the jersey number 5. Bellingham doesn't want the number 22 shirt currently worn by Rudiger because he really wants to wear a new number from now on and it goes to number 5 at Real Madrid.
On the other hand, the reason for choosing number 5 is because Bellingham was very inspired by Zidane and it's only natural that if we pay close attention to Bellingham's style of play it is very similar to Zidane's. It looks like this will be a good start for Bellingham with Real Madrid and he can't wait to play alongside Modric and also Kroos in midfield.
always like wanting to prove that he is worthy of Zinedine Zidane
I really hope so, I loved Zidane when he was at Juventus and I really liked his plays, let's hope for football that there is another one as good as him
Bellingham is a young player with potential and I hope that with his very high transfer fee he can give a satisfactory performance and not disappoint the Real Madrid fans.
Usually when a player comes with a high transfer fee, there will be a lot of hype and high expectations so that if the player doesn't fulfill that, it will be considered that he has failed.
