Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham isn’t showing any signs that he is cracking under the pressure being in the spotlight.
The English player said this in an interview following Madrid’s 2-1 loss to Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League just a few days after losing 2-0 to Celta Vigo also at home in the Spanish League.
Bellingham was heavily criticized for his angry reaction to getting substituted while playing for England but the former Borussia Dortmund player is taking the criticism in stride while backing Real Madrid’s under-fire head coach Xabi Alonso. (Click highlighted text to read full story)
Responding to a question on heavy scrutiny on him in an interview with TNT Sports, Bellingham stated,
“Its just life. This is what I’ve signed up for. I play for the biggest club in the world.”
“I don’t want pity, I’m living the dream. I role with the punches and the most important thing is that to me.”
After a slow start to the season while recovering from a surgical operated shoulder, Bellingham has since registered a goal and an assist in five Champions League games while adding three goals and two assists in 12 league games.
