Real Madrid Management Concerned About Bellingham’s Position

Key Issues Emphasized

Real Madrid’s leadership has identified a significant challenge over the last two seasons involving Jude Bellingham and his role on the field, particularly in relation to star forward Kylian Mbappe.

Coaching Perspectives

Eduardo Inda, a prominent analyst for Okdiario, shared insights on the program El Chiringuito regarding the treatment Bellingham has received under the last three head coaches at Real Madrid. According to Inda, each coach has encouraged Bellingham to position himself deeper in midfield.

He remarked, “Jude Bellingham had a tumultuous relationship with Xabi Alonso, who frequently instructed him to adjust his position, especially since there was a lack of a forward during his initial season, leaving him to take on a goalscoring role.”

Inda continued, “He attempted to maintain that same approach when Mbappé joined the team. Carlo Ancelotti also requested that Bellingham drop back, which he occasionally complied with. Despite this, he hasn’t fully adapted to the necessity of playing further back in his positioning. There have been numerous instances when his and Mbappé’s positions overlap, creating confusion on the pitch.”
