After helping Sunderland gain promotion to the Premier League, Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham wrote a fantastic message to his younger brother Jobe.
After helping Sunderland re-enter the Premier League, Jude Bellingham, a Real Madrid and England player, sent a great X-rated message of encouragement to his younger brother.
The Black Cats midfielder played the entire 90 minutes against Sheffield United at Wembley, helping to change the tide as the game progressed.
Tyrese Campbell gave the Blades the lead in the first half and they appeared to be on their way to regaining promotion to the Premier League. However, Regis Le Bris made a tactical change in the second half, introducing Patrick Roberts and Tommy Watson, while Enzo Le Fee dropped deeper to play alongside Jobe in centre midfield.
Sunderland equalised with Eliezer Mayenda in the 76th minute, before Watson scored in the 95th minute, sending the travelling red and white army into raptures.
Jude couldn’t contain his pride after seeing his younger brother play a significant role in returning the Black Cats back to where they belong, and he facetimed Jobe in the locker room after the game.
The Real Madrid midfielder posted a screenshot of the call with the comment, “SO F****** PROUD.” “F** the Mags.”* Jude has been a regular at Sunderland games since his brother’s transfer, attending pre-season games and wearing a red and white scarf at the Stadium of Light.
Speaking after the full-time whistle, Jobe spoke with Sky Sports and said: “I always believed, you have to believe. When you’ve got supporters like this and a group of lads like that, you always have to believe.
“I always believed and I know people doubted us and that’s understandable, we lost a few games, people talk about momentum. But I think we did enough, we showed enough throughout the season for people to at least give us some credit going into the play-offs.
Jobe, like his older brother, has been linked with a move to Borussia Dortmund following a successful season with the Black Cats, and his future will be closely watched this summer.
