Real Madrid do not have Kylian Mbappé or Erling Haaland but can already console themselves with Jude Bellingham. Arrived from Borussia Dortmund against a check for 103 million euros during the summer, the English international (24 caps, 1 goal) is having a dream start in the Spanish capital. Once again decisive in the victory of his team, this Saturday, against Getafe (2-1), the native of Stourbridge thus totals 5 goals and 1 assist in just 4 small games. The proof of an extraordinary talent for the new architect of the offensive game of the Merengues.
An adequate tactical change!
Very often positioned high on the pitch with the absence of a real number 9 in the team (except Joselu), Jude Bellingham fully blossoms in the new 4-3-1-2 (or 4-3-2- 1 against the Azulones to make up for the absence of Vinicius Jr) set up by Carlo Ancelotti. In support of Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo, the former Marsupials player speaks for his quality of passing and – even more surprisingly – his sense of goal. Note, as such, that Jude Bellingham is the first Real Madrid player to score in his first four games since Cristiano Ronaldo. What validate the tactical choice initiated by the Mister.
“We tried to introduce a new system to adapt to the characteristics of Bellingham, we had a lot of injuries, but in the end the team held up very well and I’m very happy with that”, confirmed the Italian technician, ready to do anything to place his new protege in optimal conditions. Opportunistic following a strike from Lucas Vasquez and scorer in added time against Getafe, the 20-year-old Englishman has, in any case, allowed his team to chain a fourth victory in a row. To the delight of Madrid supporters, already in heaven.
Real Madrid are already rising for their new star!
“When the Bernabéu was chanting my name, my legs were shaking. I don’t know what I did to deserve all this love. I will always give 100%. Signing for Real Madrid is a dream come true. When the fans started singing ‘Hey, Jude’, I wanted to stop and listen.”, assured the person concerned, more than ever confident in his new environment. Relaunched on the subject at a press conference, Carlo Ancelotti also did not fail to congratulate the one who sees his contract run until June 2029. “Bellingham is a very serious professional. He adapted very well. He even went on vacation with the other young people of the team. Everything seems to be fine”indicated in particular the Italian before projecting himself on the impact of his star.
“In terms of quality, Jude didn’t surprise us. What is surprising is that he scores a lot of goals, which is also surprising for him. Bellingham can hit the 15-goal mark this season.”. After the departure of Karim Benzema and without Kylian Mbappé, still at Paris Saint-Germain, Carlo Ancelotti seems, in any case, to have already found the right formula to boost the attacking game of the Merengues. It will now be necessary to confirm this impressive state of form over time, starting with the European scene where the Merengues, placed in group C, will challenge Napoli, Braga or even Union Berlin during the group stage of the League of champions.
