   Summary

   Jude Bellingham joined Dortmund in July of 2020. He has a rough start, being bullied by other players who think he is too young and weak to be on the team. What will happen when he makes an alliance with a 6"5 norweigen striker? As their friendship blooms into an unbreakable bond, Jude gets news that flips his world upside down: Erling must move to Manchester. As their bond grows more and more distant, the pair are reunited at the 2026 World Cup. How will the two handle the reunification? Will they pick up where they left off, or is there something else in the air?
