Although it is true that Jude Bellingham is not the same goal-scoring machine that he was when he first joined Real Madrid, this does not in any way diminish the significance of his role in Carlo Ancelotti’s squad.
The presence of the teenager in the offensive midfield is still responsible for the majority of Real Madrid’s attacking transitions, and he is one of the first names that appears on the manager’s teamsheet.
Even though he is just twenty years old, the English superstar is expected to wear the Real Madrid crest for at least the next ten years throughout his career.
It is reasonable to conclude that Real Madrid’s future is in good hands by virtue of the fact that players such as Eduardo Camavinga, Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo, and Aurelien Tchouameni are also a part of the long haul.
Just recently, Jude Bellingham gave a lengthy interview in which he discussed his tenure with Real Madrid up to this point, his achievements, and the fact that he won his first trophy as a Madridista. He started out by recalling the day that he was introduced to the club as a new player and the feelings that were going through his head at that moment in time.
“It was a day that I will never forget, indeed, it was one of the finest days of my life. It is common knowledge that Real Madrid is the most successful club in the world; yet, when you get a closer look into the club, you discover something quite remarkable.
For athletes from all over the world, the opportunity to play for Real Madrid is a dream come true because not only do they get to compete at the highest level, but they also get to interact with the very best in the industry.
There is a lot of calmness among my players, and the coach is also quite calm. Bellingham said that the atmosphere at his new club is wonderful, describing it as “a great environment.”
After that, the recipient of the Golden Boy award continued his speech by discussing life in Spain and how, in a good sense, he found it to be much more laid-back than he had anticipated.
You get to know individuals in the spots that you frequent the most, which is a wonderful quality about this town. Their perception of you is not that of the football player Jude Bellingham; rather, they perceive you as just Jude who comes for coffee, which is wonderful. The individuals I encounter in the city provide me a great deal of support and caring. I had a sense of calmness, like if I were at home.
Over the course of barely half a year, Bellingham has managed to create some unforgettable memories at the Santiago Bernabeu by scoring historic goals and celebrating with the team.
He said that playing in the Bernabéu is a really unique experience, referring to the famous stadium.
Following that, he proceeded to talk about the photograph of his chilly celebration that was shown in the stadium, revealing that it continued to give him chills down his spine for some reason.
This photograph was taken at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium. It gives me a sense of immense pride. One of my most cherished photographs. The whole of the crew is there, and it reveals the most creative aspect of myself. There is a duplicate of this photograph that I will preserve for the rest of my life.
The English genius then shifted his attention to the subject of the Spanish Super Cup final, in which his team triumphed against Barcelona in a convincing way to win the trophy and take home the trophy.
When questioned about the game, he responded by saying, “We controlled them, and the result reflected that reflected that.”
The final was when our excellence was put on display. Vini and Rodrygo both performed really well. Every single member of the squad was quite cruel. We were the dominant team, and the outcome reflected that dominance. It was a really significant moment for me when I walked away with my first championship. According to him, “You join this club in order to experience moments like this.”
In reference to his first championship as a Real Madrid player and the feelings that he had as he took possession of the trophy, the former Borrusia Dortmund star made the following statement:
“To finally win a championship was a really satisfying experience. With any luck, there will be more. Go to the training and put in as much effort as you possibly can, and then return home and behave yourself. Always remember to treat others with respect, and continue to do so.
“This is a really nice moment, and I am quite proud of this moment when it comes to me. Going to Saudi Arabia in the midst of the season and after the winter break is not an easy task to do. We competed against two teams that were really remarkable. I believe that we were the dominant team in the first game. In addition, he reflected on the intensely contested quarterfinal matchup versus Atletico Madrid and said, “We were unlucky.”
In spite of the fact that they were down late in the game, Los Blancos were able to make use of their resources and stage a comeback that ultimately resulted in them defeating Diego Simeone’s team.
The conclusion that Bellingham reached on the Spanish Super Cup was that “in resorting to extra time, but the team showed its character again as well.”
“It’s my favorite goal, my best goal so far,” he stated in reference to his strike that drew Real Madrid back into the game during the opening match of the season in the Copa del Rey.
Real Madrid is now in a strong position in both the UEFA Champions League and the La Liga standings at the halfway point of the season. Commenting on the next strategy, the sensation in the middle of the field stated,
“It is essential to perform well on an individual level, but it will be futile if the team does not emerge victorious. It is encouraging to see that we are now in the top spot in the standings, that we have already won a championship, and that we have finished first in our group in the Champions League.
The fact that Real Madrid was eliminated from the Copa del Rey was another thing that he reflected on, and he referred to it as “unfortunate.” However, he stressed that there was no time to look back and be frustrated.
It was terrible that it happened during the Copa del Rey, but I am really happy of the success that the squad has had and that I was able to assist them. Due to the fact that it is a team sport, the fact that the team and every individual are doing so well is incredibly helpful to me. Even though I have a defined position, I find that I am most fulfilled when the team is performing at its highest level.
After that, Bellingham went into great detail on how he was adjusting to life in Spain, beginning with his social life and moving on to his language, culture, and even his athletic development.
The one and only thing that I believe I am good at is adjusting to different environments. Whether it is the social part or the football aspect, I am able to transition completely. There are times when I am a reserved person, and I dislike engaging with a large number of people, which is challenging for me due to the fact that I am also a language learner.
“As for football, when you are aware that you will be here for a considerable amount of time and that you will be coming to work each and every day, it is essential to offer all you have and to be open to learning in order to avoid making errors and to discover positive emotions. He went on to say that he was “playing well and feeling comfortable.”
One of the most important things for any football player to have is a strong and dependable support system, and Bellingham said that he was fortunate to have the greatest in that regard. When asked about the support system that consisted of his parents and other loved ones, he made the following statement:
“I received a great deal of support. Despite the fact that I am no longer a novice and am aware that there will be highs and lows, I am able to persevere through the challenges because I have the self-assurance and the people who are around me. Because of them, I am not impacted by the negative experiences that may occur in the future. I am able to maintain my composure, and I am really fortunate to be surrounded by such amazing individuals.
