Real Madrid fell short of Barcelona in the race for the La Liga championship last year. As a result, Real Madrid supporters demanded unequivocally that their team make roster upgrades in order to close the gap in talent that existed between their team and the other teams in the league.
Real Madrid fans’ pessimism has been replaced by an air of confidence since the club’s signing of English player Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund for the transfer fee of 103 million euros. It is reasonable to say that the Merengues’ investment in the player has yielded fruit. Bellingham was purchased from Dortmund.
Real Madrid is now in top place in the league thanks to Bellingham’s outstanding first performance in La Liga. The team is playing in territory that it is used to, which contributes to the positive momentum.
In addition to that, the late winner he scored in the Champions League demonstrated his skills while playing on a significant platform.
Wright argues in favor of Jude Bellingham.
These exploits have resulted in a great deal of praise being heaped on his name, and Arsenal veteran Ian Wright expressed his appreciation for the English star youngster when speaking at the EA 42 event through FIVE UK.
As is the case with the majority of players who are on the rise, there is a tendency for there to be a surge in nitpicking surrounding their performances. Bellingham has been a victim of being assessed by the quality of his goals, with supporters of other teams dubbing the 20-year-old as a “tap-in merchant.”
On the other hand, Wright was eager to disprove such assertions by saying, “Other day I saw some people make compilations and be like ‘All Jude scores are tap-ins.'”
“What they don’t understand is that to go 20 yards in elite football and find space in the box, top defenders are trying to stop you, and yet he’s putting pressure, and scoring with an unbelievable movement on a regular basis.”
Bellingham now leads the Pichichi rankings in La Liga and is in the running for the Golden Boot, which was something that Ian Wright took note of when he praised Bellingham’s performance so far and his remarkable scoring record.
Wright was renowned as a predatory scorer during his own playing career, and as a result, he is well-versed in the art of timing runs and smelling goals in the box of the other team.
The renowned Arsenal player was able to score no matter how difficult the shot was, whether it was a chip from 30 yards out or a toe poke from two yards out.
Because of his vast collection of goals, Wright was considered to be one of the finest and most explosive strikers to ever play in the English game. As a result, praise coming from him is undoubtedly an evidence of the huge advances Bellingham has accomplished.
