Jude Bellingham then quipped the Norwegian if he was satisfied with his ratings. Predictably, the answer was no and Haaland felt that his pace and physicality deserved a higher rating. “For me, pace and physical I think should be in the 90’s. Don’t you think I deserve it?”
“I very much think you deserve it, my friend.”, Bellingham replied with a grin on his face.
Marco Reus, Donyell Malen, and Thorgan Hazard were amongst the other people Bellingham spoke about. Thorgan was also heartlessly referred to as the ‘number two Hazard.’ by the English youngster. Playing with fire!
