Who could have predicted that Jude Bellingham would be so important in his first season at Real Madrid? In just a few months, and almost without needing to digest (we will come back to this) his transfer for more than €100 million to the Spanish capital, the midfielder has established himself as the key element of his new team, and one of the best players in the world in all positions. His statistics are still there to demonstrate it: 20 goals and 9 assists in 31 matches, enough to make some attackers pale.
He was able to use this confidence to shine in the national team as well, as evidenced by his last match against the Belgians this week. A good omen before the final sprint with La Liga in their sights but especially the Champions League and the Euro. “I want to be able to offer titles to my country and to my team, Real Madrid”he warns Sky Sports. The 20-year-old has very high ambitions, while trying to maintain a good image with the public. At Wembley on Tuesday evening, he was filmed wrapping the child in a wheelchair who accompanied him as he entered the pitch in his tracksuit jacket to protect him from the cold.
Arrival in Madrid “very, very difficult”
Obviously, the public likes it. “I want the fans to feel like I'm another fan playing and representing them, because at the end of the day, that's what it's all about. Their support means a lot to us, more than they know. When the country is positive, the players are positive and the fans are positive, the team will play better.continues the one who sometimes thinks he is in a waking dream. “I have to pinch myself when I play England at Wembley or Madrid at the Bernabéu. I never dreamed of something like this so early.”
The pressure seems to be slipping off the shoulders of the new star of English football. However, he recognizes that his arrival in Spain was not easy. “It was very, very difficulthe blurted out in a smile as disarming as it was sincere, It was also a lot of fun adjusting to life in Spain and having bigger responsibilities with Madrid and the national team. I try to absorb it, take advantage of the experience, improve and grow.” Described as a real sponge for observers, he can draw on the experience of the oldest, and it seems to work.
