Borussia Dortmund’s young star, Jobe Bellingham, has found the FIFA Club World Cup to be a valuable experience, accelerating his integration into the team following his summer transfer from Sunderland. Instead of a leisurely summer break, the younger brother of Jude Bellingham views the tournament as an invaluable opportunity for growth and team cohesion.
The tournament provides a unique environment for him to quickly understand Dortmund’s playing style and the coach’s tactical vision. This hands-on approach, he believes, is far more beneficial than simply focusing on off-season activities.
Debut Gemilang di Piala Dunia Antarklub
Jobe Bellingham has already made two appearances in the tournament. His debut saw him enter as a substitute in Dortmund’s goalless draw against Fluminense.
His second appearance proved to be far more impactful. He started and played a pivotal role in Dortmund’s 4-3 victory over Mamelodi Sundowns, even earning the Man of the Match award.
He contributed to the exciting match with a goal, alongside contributions from Felix Nmecha, Serhou Guirassy, and an own goal by Khuliso Mudau. The match showcased Dortmund’s attacking prowess and young Bellingham’s rising talent.
Respons Positif atas Dukungan Suporter
The Dortmund faithful have embraced Jobe, adapting the iconic Beatles’ song “Hey Jude” to “Hey Jobe”.
Bellingham expressed his appreciation for the positive support, stating his delight with the fans’ enthusiasm. He embraces the chant and acknowledges the positive energy it brings to the team.
Evaluasi Pelatih Terhadap Performa Jobe
Dortmund manager Nico Kovac has been impressed by Jobe’s performance, particularly highlighting his physicality and game awareness.

Despite this, Kovac’s positive assessment reflects the promising potential that Jobe has already demonstrated.
