Bellingham - efficient and modest
With his performance in El Clasico, Jude Bellingham once again proved that his place is in the "white ballet" and that he is one of the most valuable players for Madrid. With his goals against Barcelona, he tooks his goal tally to 13. This means he has scored an average of once in all of his games since arriving in the Spanish capital, becoming only the third player in the Kings' shirt to do this.
What's more - Bellingham scored two goals in his debut El Clasico, which no footballer had done since the beginning of the century. Bellingham himself accepts all this extremely calmly, even modestly. The 20-year-old Brit shared that both he and the whole team are still a long way from what they can show.
“That was amazing. Neither I nor the team were at our best, but we continued to play, to press, to show faith and character. Love them. Matches like this are tough, but it was fun. We never give up, ever. I've been thinking for a few weeks that I should try to shoot from outside the box, start trying because the opponents don't expect it.
I am extremely happy with this goal. However, I wasn't at my best today, but you don't have to do something special every time you touch the ball, you have to combine well with your teammates. To contribute to the team. I try to do my best. I learn from my teammates and coaches to help the team win," Bellingham said, as quoted by Spanish newspaper AS.
