Jude Bellingham was seen in the stands at Hull City’s MKM Stadium on Christmas Day, watching his younger brother Jobe play in the Championship for Sunderland.
The England player has been great since moving to Real Madrid for £113 million in the summer. On Saturday, he watched Jobe and Sunderland lose 3-0 to Coventry.
Sunderland had two important wins earlier in the month against Leeds and West Brom. Since then, they have lost to Bristol City and then to Coventry, which was very disappointing.
Before going to the MKM Stadium on Christmas Day to watch his brother play, Jude talked to fans outside the stadium.
People from Hull and Sunderland were seen laughing and taking pictures with him before the game. Jobe was put into the starting group.
Soon, Jude was sitting in the stands and cheering on his 18-year-old brother as he played. He was wearing a grey coat and a red and white scarf.
Jobe had a great first season after moving from Birmingham City to Sunderland this summer. He has played in all but one of their Championship games and has scored four goals and set up one.
Jobe started the game against Bristol City on the bench, but he came back into the starting lineup for the loss to Coventry. This was done so that Sunderland could handle the young player’s playing time over the busy holiday season.
Jude helped Real Madrid beat Deportivo Alaves in a thrilling game last week. The win kept the Spanish giants tied for first place in La Liga with Girona.
This week, Mail Sport reported that the boys’ parents, Mark and Denise, have been splitting their time to support their two stars in different countries.
