Former England captain John Terry says midfielder Jude Bellingham reminds him of Zinedine Zidane, citing Bellingham’s performances and influence during the World Cup. Across multiple reports, Terry makes the comparison while speaking ahead of England’s semi-final match against Argentina, describing Bellingham as a key driver for the team. The outlets note Terry’s comments follow Bellingham’s standout displays, including his role in steering England’s performances as the tournament progresses.
One report frames Terry’s remarks as a direct comparison of style and impact, while another highlights Bellingham as the player currently “dragging” England through the competition. A third source similarly reports that Terry links Bellingham’s performances to the qualities associated with Zidane, a former France midfielder and Ballon d’Or winner. Overall, the sources agree that Terry praises Bellingham’s leadership and output at the World Cup and uses Zidane as a point of reference as England prepare for their semi-final against Argentina.
