Declan Rice has said Jude Bellingham can

be the fate of English football for the following 15 years'.

Bellingham began close to Rice at the focal point of Britain's midfield in their

Countries Association matches against Italy and Germany this week, and numerous eyewitnesses felt that the 19-year-old did what's necessary to get a spot in the Three Lions' beginning XI for their Reality Cup-opener against Iran in November.

Britain tumbled to a 1-0 loss by Italy on Friday (23 September) prior to attracting 3-3 with Germany an exhilarating game on Monday (26 September), yet Bellingham's exhibitions denoted a portion of the more certain parts of the global break for Gareth Southgate's group.
"I don't think I've seen anybody on par with what he is for 19," Rice said of Borussia Dortmund midfielder Bellingham, per the Mirror. "I take a gander at a ton of 19-year-olds, whether it's at a club, all over the planet, around the country. To have the entire bundle is something hard... what's more, I feel like he has that."

West Ham commander Rice, who is still only 23 himself, added of Bellingham: "He's 19, yet he has the body of a 28-year-old. He's a man; he has a similar outlook as a man, plays like a man and shows character and character. I've been near and played such countless a larger number of games than he has in my profession, however you can simply tell as a 19-year-old what he brings to the group as of now - the energy he has.
"He can play in a holding job, he can play as a No 8, he can play as a No 10. He's a man, you can see it when he plays for Dortmund. As a 19-year-old, you're typically frightened to converse with the official, however he's in the ref's face requesting replies, requesting choices, and he leaves himself on the pitch continually.
"He truly pushes you on the pitch. We push each other on and it's an honor to play close to him. Each time I play with Jude, we're assembling that association and I tell him: 'You proceed to bomb on and do your going after stuff, and I'll stay here and guard for you. Thus, we're getting that great association, he's perfect to play with."
Many fans are currently calling for Bellingham to begin close by Rice against Iran on 21 November, when Britain start their Qatar World Cup crusade. Notwithstanding, Rice accepts that Bellingham will highlight noticeably for the Three Lions all through the remainder of his vocation, paying little mind to what occurs in Britain's Gathering B opener.

"Ideally, he continues to thrive," Rice said. "He's the eventual fate of English football to come for the following 15 years."
