I think at the minute it is probably the biggest role of anyone,' Bellingham said. But Birmingham's love and admiration for Bellingham is understandable after standing out as one of England's best players in the Qatar tournament. I think at the minute it is probably the biggest role of anyone, even probably more than my coaches and managers, to be honest,' Jude Bellingham said. He only played for Blues for a season. If we're doing this, where is the Jack Grealish underpass?' Already loved so much by the Birmingham club and the wider city, Bellingham had his shirt number 22 retired despite just playing 44 games for the club in a fledgling career.

Jude Bellingham & a ridiculous 60-yard run that proved he was special (Football365.com)

The Championship is a notoriously tough league. Although the quality of football varies, the commitment and intensity needed to compete never does.

With two opponents in front of him looking to shepherd the ball out of play, he put the afterburners on, charged round both of them, kept it in and crossed for Hogan to score. Even at such a young age, he drove the team on and made things happen.https://twitter.com/BCFC/status/1247124393274118144 Across the course of the season, he made 44 appearances in all competitions. The ball into the Tykes’ half was nothing more than a hit and hope. We introduced him to the league last week against Swansea, and we thought he was the right player to go in. More than the sharp passing and clever touches he showed, including an audacious roulette turn on the edge of his own box against Brentford, it was Bellingham’s desire and work ethic that often set him apart. He was just 14 when he first played for the under-18s and scored on his debut for the Under-23s a year later. A quick learner and a willing case study, he had the raw ingredients needed and an insatiable desire to improve. “We played him because we thought he was ready, and the conditions were good for him. Late on, the Tilton erupted and he was mobbed by supporters after scoring a deflected winner. He was fearless, both on the ball and when trying to win it back. In a season defined by disappointment, Bellingham’s emergence was the one clear and unquestionable highlight.

The Borussia Dortmund midfielder may have been the youngest player in the squad, but he has already shown leadership qualities.

It was a little touch but it did not go unnoticed in the England camp and is consistent with his behaviour. It was also evident in a post-match interview that Bellingham gave after England’s 3-0 win over Senegal in the last-16. Liverpool want him, and there has been much made of the blossoming ‘bromance’ between Bellingham and Jordan Henderson, as do Chelsea and, certainly, Manchester City. It was also why Dortmund coach Edin Terzic has not hesitated to let Bellingham captain his side, which is quite remarkable given his age, given he is playing in a foreign country and given how big a club Dortmund are. But then it is consistent with the way Bellingham is. That is still the case with Haaland texting Bellingham during this tournament.

The pair have formed an iron-clad bond while on England duty and Jordan Henderson was first over to Jude Bellingham after their World Cup heartbreak.

Roles reversed then, with Henderson protecting the young star he no doubt hopes to see at Anfield in the near future. That goal - set up by Bellingham's enterprising drive forward - [and the celebration that followed](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/jude-bellingham-explains-iconic-goal-25687863) epitomised the relationship the pair have formed during the last month in Qatar. With a contract at Anfield until 2025, Germany in two years seems likely. USA, Canada and Mexico in 2026 less so. Bellingham, enjoying his breakout tournament after playing a fringe role in the European Championships last year, was in tears. Henderson was, of course, the first to approach his disconsolate team0mate. On Saturday evening, with England eliminated at the quarter-final stage after a 2-1 defeat to France, the roles were reversed. Bellingham is set to become one of the most in-demand players in the world come summer, and those in charge at Anfield know they must use every trick in the book to pip the likes of Real Madrid and Manchester City to their man.
