With Thomas Tuchel’s first English structure, Jude Bellingham was earned his 41st senior senior limit and the record distance for each player from the age of 21 or a high watermark, which was previously held by Wayne Rooney.
Despite his perceived service agent, Real Madrid’s midfielder is still not allowed to rent a car in this country. Arsenal’s debutant International Myles Lewis Skelly was the only player in the start-XI against Albania younger than Bellingham. Similar to Rooney, he is commanded by a significantly more older player. And he has the caps that fits this boast.
Rooney’s supernova fame burned even brighter than Bellinghams at the beginning of his English career. The three Lions boss Sven-Goran Eriksson was not questioned when he directly compared the 18-year-old striker with the big Pele during the euro in 2004. Rooney’s astonishing talent helped England to separate the quarter -finals of this tournament before he was injured before the defeat was violated against Portugal against Portugal.
Two decades later, Bellingham’s Tore England helped to reach the final of the Euro 2024 – although on this occasion they were again beaten by an Iberian opponent.

Until his October 22, 2007, Rooney had a record train of 40 hats at the time.
Although Rooney and Bellingham apparently came from different eras, they crossed their heads at the head at head at the head at the hour to go to blood-soaked toes for more than an hour in England’s second stage during the Lockdown summer 2020.
Rooney, who was at 34 at the end of his career as a player, was impressed by a player of half an age. “I was in derby and he was in Birmingham,” recalled the seniorf figure. “I played deep in midfield and controlled the game and he marked me. I always pulled it outside and he didn’t like it. What I love about him is that he stored me a bit as I saved me when he went to the tackle.”
The similarities are not accidental. When Bellingham was crowned the best player from the age of 21 or under the world in 2023, he put Rooney as a “greatest influence, the growth” and was the reason: “When he was from England, as he played, how he fought.”
