A former Real Madrid coach invited Jude Bellingham to keep his feet on the ground or risk burning his wings.

Former Real Madrid player and manager Bernd Schuster admits he was surprised by Jude Bellingham’s rapid adaptation to the Whites.

“Bellingham must do everything to keep its place”

The German complimented the young English star, but he also encouraged him to remain humble and not get carried away by his success. “Especially at Real Madrid, it is extremely important to show your level from the first minute. Even as a young player you don’t have time for that. Supporters, but also those in charge, immediately judge whether you will succeed or not. As a player and coach, I’ve seen a lot of people fail. Bellingham mastered this first step impressively.”

The German technician continued by specifying that : “When you sign for a club of this size, you can’t think too much about the fact that you are suddenly playing alongside greats like Kroos and Modric. You must not doubt yourself, you must show with joy that you deserve a place in this team and give everything to keep it. »

Schuster also spoke about the pressure of playing with the most successful club in the world: “The pressure in Madrid is very noticeable. In Spain, people talk about Real Madrid 24 hours a day, whether they are experts or supporters. And you’ll notice it even if you close all the doors and windows in your house. And when you go out to dinner, people irritate you. Not everyone can handle it.”
