Francesco Totti, a legend from Roma, has created a buzz by comparing Jude Bellingham to football greats like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
The former player made these remarks while discussing how to create his “ideal player” by blending traits from several football icons.
Creating the Ultimate Player: Messi, Ronaldo & Bellingham
Totti, who had an illustrious career at Roma, shared insights about identifying talent. He mentioned that crafting the perfect footballer involves incorporating elements from multiple legends.
In an interview with Betsson Sport, Totti expressed, “One must possess Cristiano Ronaldo’s right foot, Diego Maradona’s left foot, Luca Toni’s heading ability, the speed of Ronaldo the Phenomenon, Lionel Messi’s dribbling, Jude Bellingham’s physicality, along with my understanding of the game.”
Totti emphasizes that Bellingham’s strong build and exceptional skills make him crucial in this equation.
The young star, currently playing for Real Madrid, is already making significant strides in his career as he aims for greatness. Fans are excited to see if Bellingham can truly emulate the legendary figures he is compared to.
As it stands, Bellingham is set to represent England in upcoming matches during the October international break, where the Three Lions will compete against Greece and Finland.
In contrast, Ronaldo’s Portugal will face Poland and Scotland, while Messi’s Argentina will go up against Venezuela and Bolivia.
