00:00Jose Mourinho is unlocking the best out of Jude Bellingham, and he saw the blueprint when Benfica played Real Madrid
00:05last year.
00:06Three goals and three wins in the first three games of Bellingham and Mourinho.
00:10It's been a dream start for both, and Jose can thank the English star for a lot of it.
00:13He has a history of maximising English goal-scoring midfielders, and it's not hyperbolic to say that Jude Bellingham is
00:18absolutely on the level of the OG English goal-scoring midfielder under Mourinho, Frank Lampard.
00:24Mourinho knew this was coming.
00:25When his Benfica side played Real Madrid in the Champions League last season, Jose Mourinho said he noticed that Bellingham
00:30was effectively defending as another left-back for most of the game, and he exploited it.
00:35Everyone knows how A. versatile and B. selfless Bellingham is on the pitch.
00:39Ancelotti, Alonso, Arbeloa, they all maximise this while they're in charge.
00:44He's a player who will play anywhere if he thinks it will help the team.
00:47But Jose doesn't want that.
00:48He wants the superstar Jude, not someone who's obliged to do everything, but someone who can do anything.
00:53And that is what he's doing.
00:55He's up and down, contributing in both boxes, and most importantly, scoring goals.
00:59Jose has his Lampard regen.
01:01Can he go one step further in Madrid this time and deliver European glory?
