Jude Bellingham said that he is willing to play in any position that Carlo Ancelotti asks of him so that Kylian Mbappe can fit in. Ancelotti is the manager of Real Madrid.
Real Madrid got off to a great start to the season by beating Atalanta 2-0 in the UEFA Super Cup final. This is where the winners of the Champions League and Europa League play each other. On his professional start, Mbappe did a great job by doubling his team’s lead after Federico Valverde’s first goal.
The French player moved from Paris Saint-Germain to Real Madrid for free and signed a five-year deal worth an estimated £12.8 million per season. There wasn’t much time for him to get going, and Bellingham helped him out.
At first, the England player was asked to play lower because Mbappe started in the middle. Later in the game, though, the French star moved out to the wings, which gave Bellingham more chances to get forward. The Birmingham City product doesn’t care about his place, though.
He told TNT Sport, “We have a new-look team.” “Tonight, it seemed to work. We were still getting used to each other in the first half, but we were great in the second. We need to enjoy nights like these.
“The coach trusts me to figure out where to play.” I can go up and into the middle of the field. I do what the coach tells me to do. It’s possible that I won’t always score goals, but I hope I can help my team win.
“Kylian Mbappe is very smart. So sharp. There is so much mechanical quality. A great teammate. He helps the team like a dog. Tonight is his night.
“This won’t be the only game like this. We’ll have to go through some pain.”
Even though there was a lot of attention on Mbappe, Bellingham was named man of the match. The 21-year-old’s assist was the third time in as many finals that he had set up a goal as a Real Madrid player. He also became the only player in the last 10 seasons to have done so in three straight finals.
Mbappe was also happy with his night, though. “I had a great night.” “This is the moment I’ve been waiting for a long time,” he told Movistar.
“It’s a gift for me to play with this shirt and badge on for these fans.” It’s very important that we won a prize. We always have to win here, and I’m very happy.
