Jυde Bellingham is already a legend in world football. So Adidas has made him the champion of its most iconic product: the Predator. English stars like Gerrard and Beckham have worn the boots to celebrate their 30th birthdays, but Bellingham is clear about the footballer who best represents the silhouette: “Zidane is one of the best defenders in history”.

“I hope to keep the legacy of the yellow shirt (5) and his boots alive,” he says of the current French coach. Perhaps the most obvious comparison that comes to mind is Bellingham. Striding elegantly and holding his head high while driving. Now the Real Madrid youngster has started scoring goals like ‘Zizou’ did.
However, Jυde daydreams about being the protagonist of the greatest moment in Frechmanп’s career. “With a short and brief time, Zidane’s volley is the first and best memory that comes back with these boots,” he said.
“I hope there will be many great moments ahead, together, to keep the legacy of these boots, of this shirt, and to try to inspire those who will follow me in a long career. Before Zida, Beckham or Gerrard can do it, now it is my responsibility and pride, and I hope to enjoy it,” added the Real Madrid player.
“It’s about consistency, these players have something in common: the ability to perform in the best situations, in big games, and that’s why you are judged in football.”

“It’s strange to be given titles like the Golden Boy, I’ve said it twice and the truth is I don’t like it. Take it personally if you don’t like it. “For me, it was just about keeping trying, keeping trying and eventually I got there,” he said of being recognised as the best U21 footballer in the world. “I’m still learning, growing and trying to get better every day and push my limits,” he declared.
