As soon as Kylian Mbappé signed for Real Madrid, or even before, the Spanish press revealed that Rodrygo would pay the price. During the summer, the Iberian media continued their momentum by naming the new magical merengue trio BMV (Bellingham, Mbappé and Vinicius). Put aside, Rodrygo quickly reminded everyone that they would also have to count on the “R”. Besides, Relevo had indicated that the Madrid leaders as well as the staff were doing their best to try to reassure the Brazilian. But they’re going to have to do the same with Jude Bellingham.
This Monday morning, Marca revealed that the 21-year-old footballer has not been feeling very well since the start of the season. Less decisive than last year (0 goals), since he had already scored 10 goals at this stage of the season, the former Borussia Dortmund player would have the impression of being sidelined by the Merengues and having taken a back seat since the signing of the club’s new star, Kylian Mbappé. Bellingham, who showed signs of annoyance this weekend against Celta de Vigo in La Liga, has the support of Real Madrid who are still counting on him.
Ancelotti provides update on Bellingham
This is the message sent by Carlo Ancelotti to journalists this Monday afternoon. “I think we are satisfied with his work, because he works a lot on the field. He runs a lot, he sacrifices himself…He hasn’t scored any goals this season. But the surprise comes from last year when he scored a lot. Nobody expected it. We have no shortage of goals from Bellingham, because we have very talented players in front of us (…) For us, the work he does is much more important.
Then, the Mister responded about the positioning of the former BVB man. “He changed his position the other day, I put him on the right because we thought he could find more space and we thought he could do some damage there. The left wing is busier this year and the right wing has been a little more exposed. We can be as effective with Bellingham and Rodrygo on the right as we are on the left.” If Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Jr seem happy, Carlo Ancelotti will have to do his best to help Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo, who will also have an important role to play this season.
