BVB star Brandt: Jobe Bellingham should become even bigger than Jude!

Julian Brandt from Borussia Dortmund recently commented on Jobe Bellingham, who is considered the new hope for BVB. During an interview, Brandt expressed his wish that 19-year-old Jobe could have an even bigger career than his brother Jude Bellingham, who currently plays for Real Madrid. Brandt couldn't help but laugh while talking about the relationship between the two brothers, highlighting the positive atmosphere surrounding the young player. Jude Bellingham has developed into a world star during his time at BVB and the expectations of his brother are correspondingly high.

Jobe Bellingham, born on September 23, 2005, is Jude's younger brother and recently moved from Sunderland to Borussia Dortmund. He has achieved considerable success in his career so far. He made his debut for Birmingham City at the age of 16 years and 107 days, becoming the club's second youngest debutant. He signed a professional contract there in September 2022 before moving to Sunderland after 22 appearances in the Championship. In the 2023/24 season he scored seven goals in 45 games, which helped Sunderland secure promotion to the Premier League.

Jobe Bellingham's path to BVB

In the 2024/25 season, Jobe scored a further four goals and assisted three goals in 40 Championship games. His passing style is impressive: he achieved a passing accuracy that is 12.6% higher than Jude's in his last season in England. In addition, his duel ratio is 4.6% and his dribble rate is 1.7% higher than his brother's values. Jobe Bellingham, who also plays for England's under-21 team and made his debut in November 2024, is praised by director Lars Ricken for his talent and maturity.

The influence of Sunderland coach Régis Le Bris on Jobe's development cannot be underestimated. He has proven to be an excellent supporter of young talent and is excited about the potential that Jobe has. The player himself has learned a lot about the game during his time at Sunderland and is determined to continue to improve. As a reward for his achievements, he was named the Championship's best young player in 2024/25.

Family ties and future prospects

The Bellinghams are a notable football family. Her father, Mark Bellingham, is a former police officer and is considered a legend in amateur football. Family support is an important motivation for Jobe. He could soon get the opportunity to face his brother Jude in international competition should Borussia Dortmund meet Real Madrid in the FIFA Club World Cup. This opportunity would not only heat up the competition, but also draw the Brotherhood further into the spotlight.

The football world is looking forward to Jobe Bellingham and his development at Borussia Dortmund, while Brandt's expectations and the pressing question of how far he can follow in his brother's footsteps arise. With the support of the club and his family, Jobe has everything he needs to follow in the big footsteps.
