‘Huge dream’ to play for England with Jude, says Jobe Bellingham

Jobe Bellingham, the Borussia Dortmund midfielder, expressed his excitement on Saturday about being called up to the England national team. The 21-year-old midfielder revealed that he and his brother, Jude, have long dreamed of playing together for England during their childhood. Speaking to DAZN after Dortmund's 2-1 victory over Elversberg in the Bundesliga, Jobe emphasized that fulfilling this dream is a significant achievement but cautioned against getting too carried away, as it has not yet materialized.

The younger Bellingham noted that they have reenacted playing for England together numerous times in their youth, whether in their garden or the park. Jobe, who has captained England's under-21 team, expressed his enthusiasm for this opportunity, stating that it's a "huge dream" that he hopes will come true. Jude, a Real Madrid midfielder with 60 caps for England, is also eagerly anticipating this moment for both himself and his brother.

Dortmund coach Niko Kovac praised Jobe's development and dedication to refining his skills, describing him as a "complete football freak" who studies his own game and that of other players. Kovac highlighted Jobe's excellent attitude and his recent establishment as a key member of Dortmund's starting XI. The Bellingham brothers' shared dream of representing England side by side represents a special occasion, both for them and their national team.
