Ruining the game in just 5 minutes? It’s hard for Bellin to follow his elder brother’s footsteps. It’s hard to compete in the World Cup.

After joining Real Madrid, Bellingham successfully led the team and won the double championship trophies of La Liga and the Champions League, which also proved his level. At that time, Bellin was almost a future candidate for the best midfielder in the world. Considering his age and nationality, many people believed that he would be a future Ballon d'Or contender. Although Bellingham later encountered injuries and integration issues after Mbappe joined. However, his level is still relatively high, and Xabi Alonso also has great trust in him. He will definitely be given more weight in the next competition.

In contrast, his younger brother Bellingham really wanted to follow his elder brother's old path. After making a name for himself in Sunderland, he also came to Dortmund, which has always been known for its talent cultivation, hoping to prove himself. However, although the paths taken are similar, the actual performance is quite different. Judging from the current situation, his performance is far from being recognized by Dortmund's senior management, especially in the 1:2 loss to Bayern, where he came on as a substitute in the 73rd minute. He made a low-level mistake just 5 minutes later, which led to Olise's goal, which indirectly cost Dortmund the possibility of winning this important contest.

After the start of this season, Bellingham Jr. has played 10 games on behalf of Dortmund. It can be said that he has no opportunities, but his statistics are terrible (0 goals, 0 assists). This is obviously the opposite of his brother's performance when he played for this club. You must know that Dortmund spent 30.5 million euros to buy from Sunderland, and he is also the top bidder in the team this summer. However, the current state is still very bad. In contrast, this is not what Dortmund wants.

Of course, the worse thing is the conflict between Bellingham’s family and Dortmund’s senior management. Bild had previously reported that his family (dad) personally came to the locker room to have a conflict with the coach and executives, believing that their use of Bellingham was very incorrect, especially when he was replaced, and somewhat disrespected him. In this regard, there was a quarrel with the director. This situation was indeed very detrimental to Bellin's subsequent integration.

Fortunately, according to the news provided by the German media later, Dortmund's senior management took the initiative to reconcile with him and his family after losing to Bayern. Father Bellin also admitted that he had made mistakes before (conflicting with the coach), and there is still the possibility of cooperation between the two parties.

You know, this young man dreams of playing in the World Cup with his brother next year. Tuchel also made it clear in the interview that if Bellin performs well, he would be very happy to let such two brothers play together. The story happened in the United States, Canada and Mexico. However, judging from the current actual situation, it is indeed difficult for him to realize this dream.

Of course, if it is technically unsuitable, Bellin will look for transfer opportunities in the winter transfer window.
