The day after the friendly match between Real Madrid and Barça, Carlo Ancelotti made a surprising anecdote quoting Jude Bellingham.
Indeed, the Madrid coach wanted to point out an attitude of Jude Bellingham, which he did not appreciate very much.
Since his missed final with England, the young midfielder has not set foot on a football pitch, enjoying his holidays.
He therefore missed the two matches against AC Milan and Barça. Matches lost each time by Real Madrid.
With Jude Bellingham missing from Real Madrid’s centre, his coach has decided to check on him.
So, on the day of August 4, 2024, Carlo Ancelotti decided to reach him by phone call.
A call that Jude Bellingham refused to answer, snubbing his coach, unlike Vinicius, to whom he answered.
« I got mad at Bellingham yesterday. I called him and he didn’t answer, so I told Vinicius to call him and he answered immediately. (Laughs) When Bellingham answered Vinicius, I was waiting, Vinicius gave me his phone and then I talked to him ” explained Ancelotti, with a smile on his lips.
A funny anecdote from the Real Madrid coach who should be preparing his last pre-season match with his team.
Real Madrid will face Chelsea on August 6, 2024, to complete its schedule of friendly matches.
