Undoubtedly the Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden is one of the top footballers of the year, with the first becoming in his maiden year the leader of Real Madrid and reach its conquest La Liga but also in the final of the Champions League and the second to emerge as the leader of the Premier League, where the Manchester City won for the 4th time in a row.
This is also his opinion Jamie Carragherwith her former defender Liverpoolthrough an article in the “Telegraph”, to praise the two and emphasized that he has faith that the England can achieve something good at EURO2024, thanks to the two youngsters. For the “queen’s” midfielder, in fact, he emphasized that he is a dream midfielder, while he compared the “citizens” midfielder to Zinedine Zidane and the Andres Iniesta!
What Carragher said in detail:
“Foden and Bellingham represent two different profiles of players but there are parameters to the City ace’s game that make him stand out compared to all the other players who have played for the England national team.
Bellingham follows the tradition of integrated, multidimensional media. Regularly, he is the dream player for Southgate ahead of Euro 2024.
He was brilliant as a ’10’ for Real and delightful as an ‘8’ for Dortmund, and you can see him playing as a ‘6’ later on in his career.”Carragher initially pointed out, and added:
“As far as Foden is concerned, I’m not sure if England have ever had a player of a similar style and standard. He has more in common with typical Spanish or Portuguese players, his technique is unmatched.
The biggest accolade I can give is that every time I see Foden and see his first contact with the ball, his control and his dance moves in closed spaces, the first players that effortlessly come to mind are Zinedine Zidane and Andres Iniesta.
The dilemma for Southgate is how to get the best out of Bellingham while avoiding a return to the old debates over whether Gerrard or Lampard should start in midfield.
Bellingham is a phenomenon but for me Foden remains the most gifted footballer in England.”
