Carlo Ancelotti was stunned by Jude Bellingham’s latest masterpiece, who scored twice to equal Cristiano Ronaldo’s record.
Bellingham continued his superb start to his Bernabeu career by scoring twice in Real Madrid’s 4-0 win over Osasuna on Saturday. The 20-year-old has scored 10 goals in his first 10 appearances for the club, equaling the record set by Ronaldo in 2009. With three assists to his name, Bellingham has two more goals than Ronaldo in his first 10 matches.
After the match, Madrid manager Ancelotti admitted that no one expected Bellingham to regain his sense of goal so quickly, telling a press conference: “Bellingham is business as usual. He finds a lot of opportunities in attack and the fact that he does not have a fixed position on the pitch, he does a lot of damage to the opponents and no one expected such a level in terms of goals. »
The Italian coach has also revealed the secret of the English player’s success. “It is easier to study and analyze a player who has a fixed position, while this is not the case for him, and therefore it is very difficult to defend him well. »
