One day, Mike Dodds, Jude Bellingham’s coach at the Birmingham City academy, was sitting in the car, just before a meeting with Jude, who was playing under-13s then, and been moved up in the age-groups.
“I remember wondering what position he saw himself as, because for Birmingham he could almost play in all the positions because the level at times was too easy for him. But going to England youth camps, where does he see himself then compared to some of the best in the country?” Dodds told Thesportsman.com.
“And I thought about how he can play in all positions, and then I just came up with the idea of adding the numbers together. I'm a little bit old school and I call the holding midfielder a four. I sat down with him, and then I just said ‘Look, I think you can be at 22.’”
“He was like 'a what?' I said ‘I think you can be a 22’. So we had the conversation around the role and responsibility of an eight, the role and responsibility of a four, and the role and responsibility for a 10.
“And I knew at that point, I had really hooked him, I could see it in his body language. From then on in, from probably the under-13s, everything we talked about was being a 22 and he just completely bought into it.
“It was literally something I thought about in the car. I knew having the conversation with him, I kind of pitched it to him around designing his programme around being a 22, and that's what his programme basically became for the best part of five or six years.”
When Bellingham moved to Borissia-Dortmund, Birmingham City retired the 22 jersey, as a tribute. No other kid can wear that in that club now.
Kane decides to go from goal from a fair few distance. Was looking for a pass but nothing was on so he decided to shoot. A sttinger which is spilled by Mendy.
And a minute later, Saka makes it 3-0. Long, long way back for Senegal. Foden plays a curling low pass and Ska lifts it over Mendy.
