Jude Bellingham, who has scored 15 goals for Real Madrid in 17 appearances to break the records previously posted by Cristiano Ronaldo, yesterday evening won the special "Golden Boy" award.
He said he felt honored to be part of the list of the best players in the world at the moment. While talking about the footballer he has taken as an example during his career, he mentioned Wayne Roney.
"I couldn't be more thankful for all the people I've met along the way. help me get to where I am now. It's about trying to make my team and my country the best teams in the world and being the best player in the world, you have to help your teams win and to join that list is a huge honour. I think Wayne Rooney was probably my biggest influence growing up, obviously being from England and the way he played, the way he fought, but there's a lot of other players that I've taken my cues from. I'm really grateful for everything football has given me so far in my life and the support from my family to keep playing and keep enjoying it has been great," said Bellingham.
