\u201cIt\u2019s really nice to share this moment with Jamal, as a reflection of how far we\u2019ve come. I remember our times rooming together in the England Youth team, we\u2019d play the game all the time,\u201d said<\/a> Bellingham<\/strong>. \u201cEveryone knows the game, everyone plays it and talks about it so much. I\u2019m grateful to be given the opportunity to be on the cover again.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I found out I\u2019d be on the cover of FC, it was such a crazy feeling,\u201d Musiala<\/strong> added<\/a>. \u201cI thought, how could I tell my little brother? He\u2019s a big fan of the game, so this will be a nice surprise for him.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
