Bellingham is paying great dividends for Real! Two goals against Almeria turned the score around. I’m already 10 times better than I was last year, he beamed

Jude Bellingham has the potential to become one of the best transfers in Real Madrid’s history. He adapted immediately in the white ballet jersey and in the first two rounds he decided the victory with three goals.

Kylian Mbappé? No, he’s probably not coming to Real Madrid. Fans have criticised the management a lot for not bringing in any striker after Karim Benzema’s departure, but it was all part of the plan.

You don’t need a striker if you bring in Bellingham and give him space. The English super-talent comes on as a free agent in a 4-1-2-1-2 formation on the diamond underneath Vinicius with Rodryg and this role was created just for him.

He isn’t bound by any tactical instructions, he can run virtually anywhere on the pitch in the offensive phase and he gives back to the team not only with his performances but most importantly with his goals.

In the first round at Atletico’s ground he scored after a corner kick to make it 2-0, this time at Almería’s ground he scored twice. And Real had to turn the score around, because in the third minute, Sergio Arribas, a Real alumnus who just transferred to Almeria in the summer, scored.

In the 19th minute, however, Valverde directed Carvajal’s centre only to Bellingham, from whom it deflected into the home defender, but it was the 19-year-old Englishman who was quickest to find his feet and clear the ball into the net.

In the 60th minute, Bellingham then sprinted into the whitewash, where Kroos sent a millimetre pass and the Real Madrid summer signing headed into the net.

Bellingham thus turned the match score around with two goals, with a third insurance goal later added by Vinícius Junior. Bellingham is also the top scorer in La Liga with three goals.

“Real Madrid will change you. I’m already 10 times better than I was last year. I learned a lot playing with these guys. When I was a kid I watched Real turn games around and now I’m there. There’s no panic. Just confidence. It’s the DNA of Real,” Bellingham was heard saying after the game.
