The up-and-coming star of Real Madrid, Jude Bellingham, has everyone in Spain talking about him.
The former star of Borussia Dortmund was always considered to be one of the younger players who had the most potential to advance their careers. However, many people were caught off guard by his remarkable beginning to his life in Spain.
In the first four matches of the current season, Bellingham has already scored an incredible five goals for Real Madrid and has even contributed an assist to the team’s overall scoring.
The truth of the matter is that he is personally responsible for all of Los Blancos’ most recent three victories in the league.
Strong acclaim from the team captain
In a recent interview with Movistar+, Dani Carvajal did not hold back while discussing Bellingham. He described how the new addition took training by storm in his opening days with the team. According to what was reported in Mundo Deportivo, he stated:
We don’t want to glorify him too much from the inside because in the end, we’ve set the bar extremely high, but….
“When he started training for the first time, those of us sitting in the corner of the table looked at each other and said, ‘puff, this guy knows what he’s doing.'” You don’t notice that he is really quick, that technically he is insane, but that he is very complete. “
Bellingham has maintained his form despite the gap for international competition.
The prodigy has made such a significant effect at Real Madrid that it should not come as a surprise that he began for England in their Euro qualifying match against Ukraine a week ago.
The game finished with Gareth Southgate’s team playing to a 1-1 tie, although Bellingham was once again on the money for his team throughout the match.
The 20-year-old spent 65 minutes on the field and successfully completed three out of four dribbles that he tried. He also won eight duels and accomplished 13 defensive actions. In addition to this, he completed more than 80 percent of his passes throughout the night.
