According to Fabio Capello, Jude Bellingham surpasses Erling Haaland as a player and exhibits superior “technical quality” compared to his former Borussia Dortmund teammate.
Despite Haaland’s remarkable progress, there is consensus among many fans and analysts that he still faces limitations in his game. In the realm of elite strikers, where consistent goal scorers are rare, Manchester City’s forward stands out as a reliable contributor.
Fabio Capello suggests that Jude Bellingham could be Kylian Mbappe’s primary competitor in this generation rather than Erling Haaland, emphasizing Bellingham’s superior skills.
Capello states, “In my opinion, Bellingham and [Kylian] Mbappe are the two football players that will engage in combat similar to that of [Lionel] Messi and Cristiano [Ronaldo].” He highlights the technical proficiency of Mbappe and Bellingham in goals, skill, and dribbling compared to Haaland.
While acknowledging Haaland’s exceptional qualities as an incredible goal scorer with superb technical ability, Capello points out that the virtues Bellingham and Mbappe lack are present in Haaland’s skill set. Despite Bellingham’s excellence on the field, it would be unfair to discount Erling Haaland as a competitor to Kylian Mbappe based solely on this comparison.
