bellingham is a functionally different player than pedri and vitinha(in my opinion, also a worse one, but that’s for you to decide).
he’s not a particularly otherworldly passer or chance creator, but he excels at keeping possession, crashing the box to score, and defending.
There’s real human beings out there that think Pedri keeping “things ticking” and Vitinha “dictating tempo” is more valuable than what Bellingham does
