19-year-old Bellingham is promoted to the top with Sunderland, becoming the absolute main player with a net worth of 22 million

Tuqiu.com reported on May 25 that the final of the English Championship upgrade play-off stage was staged. Sunderland defeated Sheffield United 2-1 with his final victory before the final game and returned to the Premier League stage after ten years. In this game, Real Madrid midfielder Bellingham's younger brother, 19-year-old Job - Bellingham, once again became the focus, witnessing the "Black Cat Miracle" as his absolute main player and writing his own inspirational chapter.

As Sunderland's midfield engine, Job played in 40 games this season and started 39 times, contributing 4 goals and 3 assists. From data to his role on the field, he can be regarded as the team's "midfield brain". During the upgrade playoff tour, he played the whole game in three consecutive games, using accurate long pass dispatch and key interception to escort the team. Especially in the final, he collapsed Sheffield United's counterattack offensive many times, becoming an irreplaceable link in the coach Mobray's tactical system. "He is far more mature than his age, and he can always stay calm at critical moments." Mobray praised after the game.

From Birmingham youth training to Sunderland core, Job's growth trajectory is a model of "grassroots counterattack". In 2023, when he joined the franchise at a low price of 1.75 million euros, his net worth was only 5 million euros, and now it has soared to 22 million euros, an increase of more than 340% in one and a half years. In addition to the halo of blood, he used his strength to break the doubts of "the second generation of stars relying on their elder brothers" - the data per game with 2.1 key passes and 85% pass success rate, which is comparable to the main midfielder of the Premier League midfield team.

It is worth noting that Job's playing style is completely different from his brother: he focuses more on organizational scheduling rather than breakthrough and promotion, and was rated as a "modern midfielder template" by British media. This differentiated development strategy not only avoids external comparison pressure, but also allows him to find a unique position in Sunderland's offensive and defensive transformation. When he celebrated passionately with his teammates at Wembley Stadium, the words “Bellingham” behind the jersey are no longer an affiliate tag, but rather a medal of independence belonging to Job-Bellingham.

As Sunderland promoted to the Super League, Job's future also sparked speculation: Should he stay in the Premier League to polish his skills, or to follow his brother's footsteps to enter European giants? There is currently no termination clause in his contract, and Sunderland is planning to provide him with a new contract with doubled salary. Regardless of choice, the 19-year-old star has proved with his strength: he is not only the "Bellingham brother", but also the rising midfielder in English football. When the spotlight focuses on the Bellingham family again, Job-Bellingham is writing his own legendary chapter.
