Liverpool fans have reacted on Twitter to Jude Bellingham’s outrageous skill and balance during England’s 4-0 win over Andorra in their World Cup qualifier on Sunday.
The 18-year-old was handed a rare start by Gareth Southgate and he didn’t disappoint because he impressed in the middle of the park, alongside Liverpool duo, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jordan Henderson.
But in the 7th minute, Bellingham chased the ball towards the corner flag, got nudged but still managed to retain his balance, and despite being boxed by three players, he ended up nutmegging one of the opposition to get himself out of a tricky situation.
And whilst all of that was happening, the Dortmund superstar had Kieran Trippier hugging the touchline begging to receive the ball, but he opted against using him and instead showcased his close-control.
It was one of the standout moments from the match and just a glimpse of what Bellingham is capable of producing under pressure.
Liverpool supporters made it clear that a player of Bellingham’s ilk is perfect for their midfield.
The Reds lost Gini Wijnaldum on a free transfer to PSG this summer and opted against replacing him.
Therefore, it’s no surprise that some fans would like to see the teenager fill the Dutchman’s boots.
Jurgen Klopp is already nurturing another upcoming teenage talent in Harvey Elliott.
If somehow, just somehow, the Merseyside club can manage to lure Bellingham towards their direction, then they would have two youngsters who could rule the footballing world for the next 15 years.
Eurosport did claim in the summer that those in the Anfield boardroom are keen on the box-to-box midfielder’s talents.
But given that there will be several clubs lurking for his signature next summer, FSG will need to get a number of cheque books out in order to beat their rivals to his services.
Nonetheless, here is a selection of Liverpool fans reacting to Bellingham’s moment of brilliance yesterday:
