Jobe Bellingham has made an impressive start to his career at Borussia Dortmund, scoring on his first full debut in a 4-3 victory over Mamelodi Sundowns in the Club World Cup. This achievement has inevitably drawn comparisons to his older brother, Jude Bellingham, who also scored on his first start for Dortmund four years ago.

A Debut to Remember Jobe's goal came 45 minutes into the match, showcasing his anticipation, agility, and precision. After timing his run perfectly, he controlled the ball away from his marker and fired past the goalkeeper, albeit with a slight deflection. This goal capped off a fine display, highlighting his potential to follow in his brother's footsteps.

Practise Makes Perfect Speaking after the match, Jobe admitted that scoring such goals is something he has been working on diligently. "I practise that so many times, not that exact finish, but arriving late on the edge of the box as a midfielder is something you need to be really good at," he told Dazn. "If you can score, if you can contribute those kind of goals a certain amount per season then you are doing really well."

Drawing Comparisons Comparisons to Jude are no doubt tiring for Jobe, but there is a reason they are made. His movements and timing of runs into the penalty area are reminiscent of another English midfield legend, Frank Lampard. Former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel noted, "He reminds me of a certain player I played with, Frank Lampard. 20-odd goals every season by being there and arriving at the right time. I think he's going to score a lot of goals for Dortmund."

Looking Ahead Should both Dortmund and Real Madrid win their respective Club World Cup groups and advance to the last 16, the Bellingham brothers could face each other in a quarter-final clash in New Jersey. This potential encounter adds another layer of excitement to Jobe's burgeoning career.

Conclusion Jobe Bellingham's debut goal for Borussia Dortmund not only marks a significant milestone in his career but also sets the stage for further comparisons with his brother Jude. His dedication to improving his game and his natural talent suggest that he has a bright future ahead in football.
