There's a reason why Cristiano Ronaldo is regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, some ardent fans of his even believe he is far superior to a particular Argentinean based in America.
Ronaldo's achievement is unmatched, he has won the biggest trophies in history, created over 173 individual records and leads the race in the number of goals scored in both local and international football. A player of such remarkable qualities should never be compared to a kid.
Comparing him to Jude Bellingham is unfair to the English starlet who is beginning to discover another facet of his game which is scoring goals on a consistent streak. Jude has found the net in 10 consecutive games in his first 10 matches for Real Madrid.
What a way to adjust a super talented team.
Jude goal scoring prowess was made possible by Carlo Ancelotti who saw other managers failed to see in him, which is his instinct to score, good positioning in front of goal and good dribbling skills to evade tackles.
Realizing he has striker's touch, Ancelotti gave him the license to roam forward and score goals. That tactical tweak has massively helped Real Madrid build a title aspiring team without Karim Benzema.
His flurry of goals has attracted praise singers from the press who are already comparing to everyone including Real Madrid's greatest player Cristiano Ronaldo/ A player who has been on top of his game for the past 17 years and still breaking records far away in the middle east.
What set Ronaldo apart from other players is his longevity; high standard of play, his goal rate and assist (60 to 50 goals a season along with 15 to 13 assists) as well as trophies won with both club and country.
Bellingham is a good player no doubt about that but what he really needs to do is ignore the unnecessary comparison and focus on his game. He has to improve every facet of his game and create his own history just like Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard once did.
