Jude Bellingham’s good start to the season with the Real Madrid jersey highlights the skepticism displayed by Tony Kroos three months ago.
Tony Kroos had to review his copy. Three months ago, the experienced Real Madrid midfielder expressed some reservations about Jude Bellingham’s arrival at the club. At the age of 33, the 2014 world champion was particularly upset about the amount of the transfer of his future young teammate, 19 years old at the time.
“103 million euros? We had another player who arrived for a lot of money, and who practically let his career die, Tony Kroos said during a podcast that he regularly hosts with his brother, Felix. It was a lot of money, and in the end I think everyone realized it wasn’t a good deal. »
Kroos was most likely referring to Belgian striker Eden Hazard, recruited in 2019 for some 115 million euros. “ But let’s stay positive. Bellingham looks good, so welcome to Madrid,” Tony Kroos concluded, however.
What would he say today? Jude Bellingham, 20 years old since the end of June, once again proved decisive for the White House. Wednesday evening, he scored the winning goal against Union Berlinmatch of the first day of the Champions League (1-0).
In La Liga, the former Borussia Dortmund player has some promising statistics: 5 goals in as many games. The England international has probably finished convincing Tony Kroos.
