The European football journalist of Talksport, Andy Brassell, sympathized with the anam problems of the former Sunderland star.
“I think it’s completely normal to be honest,” he said exclusively to Talksport.com, while talking about Jobetes’ slow start in Germany.
“I think the largest millstone around his neck, and he has registered for it, is the fact that he is a Bellingham in Dortmund.
“He can wear what he wants on the back of the shirt, but everyone knows that he is Judes younger brother. And you just have to see him to know that.
“But you look at a player when we are realistic, look at a player who has not played in the top division before, let alone for a Champions League club that has the endeavor to win a few things in the near future. And where there is a lot of pressure.
“You look at a guy whatever his name is, whatever he has that he has, appears and has to compete with really experienced, well -paid players. I find it difficult.”

“I can’t believe that he would be blind to being honest for the look because it really puts so much pressure on Jobe.
“With Jew it is clear that he is his own type. Obviously, he was someone who had so much ability that everything else that happened around him was not really important because he could sort everything on the field.
“If you do justice to Bellingham’s status that he had at Dortmund, you can’t even see it that way because it is impossible.
“Jude Bellingham was only a great player for Dortmund for three years – he was someone who fulfilled a lot of different roles in the team who was a complete midfielder who was a generation talent and was a leader.
“You look at the way he has led the crowd, and he also does it with Real Madrid, for goodness. I mean which player goes to Real Madrid and leads the crowd? It’s amazing.
“So, in order to become a player of the promise at this level, it’s a big leap. And I don’t think it is reasonable to expect that.

“In terms of what he will get from Niko Kovac at the moment, he is very demanding for his players, very demanding, however physically.
“There is a small step he has to take and it will take a while. And as I said, he competes with some famous players.
“By the way, Marcel Sabitzer and Felix Nmecha, who could not come into the team at the beginning of the season, was already 30 million euros and was already a proven Bundesliga player, NMECHA.
“So start the game and it is not obvious at the moment in which he starts.
“You will get injuries. He will play a lot. But to expect what you got from Jew is ridiculous.”
