Jowe and Jude Bellingham can only be third brothers to become a member of the exclusive club

For a child who is so determined to escape from the shadow of his brother that he refuses to wear his last name on his shirt, it seems like a strange career step.

But the transfer of Jowe Bellingham to Borussia Dortmund -The club where brother Jude came to the fore as a world-class talent-is intriguing.

Dortmund has clearly seen enough in the younger Bellingham Peel the second highest transfer costs In the club history. This is no ordinary jewe.

A reimbursement of a maximum of £ 33 million is a serious investment for a 19-year-old who has never played a top flight football.

And given that Dortmund is certainly not a mug when it comes to recruiting players, we can be sure that there is no sentimentality attached to it.

This thing is not designed to be season two of a reality show called ‘The Bellinghams’.

The younger Bellingham – who has worn ‘Jowe’ on his back since he is a member Sunderland by Birmingham Two years ago a serious prospect that played an important role in securing the return of the Black Cats to the Premier League after an absence of eight years.

And after sealing his move to the Westphalen Stadium, he immediately goes to the World Cup Club in the United Stateswhere he could play against Jude and really Madrid.

It is of course that Jowe would like to forge his own path. After all, who wants to go through life known as the little brother of their big brother?

But with the Bellinghams there are far too many similarities to make that prospect a realistic one.

Jude was the youngest debutant in the history of Birmingham, 16 years old. Jowe was the second year, only a few months older than his brother had been.

Jude was the young player of the Year of the Championship in 2020. Five years later, Jowe won the same award.

And now both have moved to Borussia Dortmund as teenagers.

There are also differences.

While Jude started as a more defensive midfielder and continued to play like no. 10 or a ‘false nine’, Jowe started as an attacking midfield player and he has taken back in a box-to-box role.

It is therefore possible, maybe even as fast as next Year World Cup, to put together the two Bellinghams who play together England.

Since the beginning of the 20th century, only two pairs of brothers have represented England at senior level.

Those are Bobby and Jack Charltonwho together won the World Cup together in 1966; and Gary and Phil NevilleBeautifully referred in the autobiography of Jaap Stam as “busy C *** s .. they never stop clicking”.

So this would be a free company for the Bellingham family to share.

Not that the father of the duo, Mark, convincingly needs that his family is something special.

Having one Bellingham in the team of England has its problems. Two has a real battle.

There are already special measures for Jude, the best English talent of his generation, when it comes to his lack of media interviews About England.

More importantly, there are times when he has one law To itself around the team.

This is not ideal for Thomas Tuchel And can influence Jowe’s prospects for promotion of the under-21 years.

Still, if he runs the ground on the World Cup Club and then blooms in the BundesligaJowe will push himself into a serious England.

Tuchel is not well blessed with central midfielders, to the extent that 34-year-old Jordan Henderson – A close confidant of Jude – is back in a starting place.

Dortmund has become a finishing school for young English talent, from Jadon Sancho Unpleasant Jude Bellingham Unpleasant Chelsea Target Jamie Gittens And now to Jobe.

And while the career perspectives of Sancho continue to pop up after a bad loan spell ChelseaIt is worth remembering the groundbreaking character of his move to Dortmund as a 17-year-old in 2017.

And that Sancho returned there last season for a decent loan movement and started in the Champions League final Wembley.

It was Sancho, and his representatives, who brought a career path that were largely unbridled by English children’s idea that, with Premier League clubs, worldwide talent, their best chance of breaking into the regular football of the top was to move abroad.

What then seemed revolutionary is becoming increasingly common.

For Sancho, and then for Jude BellinghamBecoming a star player in one of the largest stadiums of European football in the Bundesliga was much preferable to struggle for playing time at a Premier League club.

So it should be no surprise that Jowe followed the example.

His family name will be a help, instead of an obstacle, when it comes to winning those fanatic supporters who form the yellow wall of Dortmund.

Whether he decides to wear that name on his back is another matter.

Burn’s Fright

How shall we know if England can defend for next year’s World Cup?

The men of Thomas Tuchel did not have to defend much during his first three games.

And they are not planned to make an elite position before the tournament in America – the collision with Senegal and a Wembley date with Wales are the only friendly competitions that are currently planned.

To the defensive faithful loyal loyal stablewarts of Gareth Southgate, sees the majority of what remains does not like world class.

Lookout Then Burn Struggling against Andorra, then witness Portugal” Spain and the attacking quality of France in the Nation competitionMade the goal of Tuchel to ‘put another star’ on the shirt of England – by winning the World Cup – clearly sound stupid.

It’s a crazy world

The new favorite referee of this column must be Bobby Madley, after the EFL Official brackish ranks and admitted that he “hates” Variety To get the emotion out of football.

Madley was considered a top for online foolishness in 2018 and therefore may have less established interest than other referees when he talks about the use of technology in decision -making.

Many other referees agree with Madley, but they are still obliged to pretend that VAR is a power forever-because it is also a schedule “Jobs for the Boys”, so that more refs can earn more money of the game.

Big Miss

BIG Ange Postecoglou Perhaps the last of the “big” men who manage in the English game.

And at least the big Aussie, such as large Sam Allardyce And Big Jack Charlton for him was actually big.

I met Big Ron Atkinson and Alex “Big Eck” Mcleish and they are not very big at all.

And what the former Chelsea boss Luiz Felipe “Big Phil” Scolari “Big Phil”, he was hardly even medium-sized.

Franc

Given that the spurs for the Spurs HotSeat the spurs must now say: “do not prioritize cup competitions”, it is not a shock Thomas Frank is set to succeed Europa League Winner Ange Postecoglou.

Since reaching the top flight in 2021, Frank’s Brentford have only won one Fa -Cup tie.
