Coach Carlo Ancelotti was recently asked who of the three legends, Di Stefano, Zidane, or Cruyff, Jude Bellingham is most akin to. The Italian strategist, who was not one of the three former players described above, responded abruptly.

“I’ve never seen Di Stefano play before. Zidane was also highlighted at the previous press conference. It’s difficult to compare, but when I first saw Jude play, I immediately thought of Kaka. Not completely, but he has Kaka’s attributes.”

Although he was dubbed “Little Zidane” when he wore the number 5 shirt for Real Madrid and played the most important role in the midfield, Bellingham differs from his predecessor in several ways. Ancelotti feels that the former Borussia Dortmund player can enter the penalty area better than Zidane, which is similar to Ricardo Kaka, Ancelotti’s former AC Milan student who also played for Real Madrid.

In 2007, Kaka was the owner of the Golden Ball. Although he rose to prominence at AC Milan, the Brazilian player underperformed after coming to the Bernabeu in 2009. Kaka, on the other hand, made an impression on Madridistas.

Returning to Bellingham, the 2003 midfielder’s scoring record is something no one anticipated when he originally arrived. After 14 games, the English player headed the top scorers list with 11 goals. Bellingham has scored 16 goals in 15 appearances with Los Blancos in all competitions. The English player is likely to continue shooting in the upcoming La Liga match against Granada.
