Bellingham's confession after the Salzburg - Real Madrid match: his gesture was concerning

Jude Bellingham is going to be one of the most important players in Xabi Alonso's Real Madrid. The coach himself has acknowledged that he is one of the pillars of the team and the trust he has in his football. He sees him more as a central midfielder, which is why he is trying to move his position back a bit so that he is involved in playmaking.

In addition to that influence on the game, Xabi is also asking him to make sacrifices defensively and in pressing. It's essential that all the team's players give everything on the field, including the stars. They are doing it in an organized way, which is how they are achieving much more success.

Of course, when someone isn't used to this or comes from a season full of matches, it's harder. That's exactly why Jude Bellingham finished yesterday's match very tired and he didn't hide it from anyone. "I can't even walk," was the phrase the player reportedly said, according to Defensa Central.

There is no injury

Some people got scared when they read it, but Jude doesn't suffer from any kind of injury; he was simply tired after a great effort. Despite playing with pain in his shoulder, the English footballer remains decisive in the best team in the world. Yesterday he played a great match and provided a good assist to Vinícius.

Bellingham will remain key in the round of 16 match against Juventus, and they hope to reach the final as well. The English star will have shoulder surgery once Madrid's run in the competition is over. He has been waiting for that moment for a long time so he can play more comfortably and freely.

He is very happy

The English star is delighted with Xabi Alonso's arrival, because he is a very communicative and very tactical coach. Bellingham believes he can grow a lot as a footballer playing under him, although he is aware that it will take time.

The rest of the locker room feel the same way, because they are really enjoying the progress the team is making. It's still early, because there haven't been many matches, but in every game some improvement can be seen.
