Jude Bellingham: “I love comebacks”

MADRID, 28 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –

Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham was “very happy” with the victory (1-2) over FC Barcelona this Saturday and confessed his weakness for “comebacks”, where the heart has a hard time” but they are “fun games” .

“It’s been a good day. Neither I nor the team have been at our best level, but we continued playing and little by little we began to put pressure on their midfield and defense. Then came our reward. “We showed faith and character and we took the three points,” he said in statements to RealMadrid TV.

The Englishman was the protagonist of the Classic by scoring the two goals of the white comeback at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. «Another comeback. I love them. The heart has a hard time, but they are fun games. We did our best, we didn’t give up and I’m very happy,” he said, before evaluating his good first goal.

«I received the ball on the edge of the area. I had been saying for a few weeks that I need to try from outside. Maybe the rivals trust that I am going to try to get into the area or combine with a teammate and I wanted to surprise by hitting them from outside. I know I have the necessary technique and it came through the squad,” he added.

Bellingham referred to his start to the season in his first year with Madrid: 13 goals in 13 games. «I was not at my best level. Sometimes it’s not about trying to do something special every time you have the ball, but rather combining with those above. I fulfilled that task well, but as soon as I caught the ball there I knew I was going to score,” he noted.

«Right now everything is coming out for me. I prepare the games well, I’m starting well and learning from teammates and coaches. I just want to improve and help the team win. Thanks to my qualities I can help and I want to continue doing so,” he added.

Finally, Bellingham confessed his special excitement before his first Classic. «I just talked to my family, but with the noise there was it was difficult to hear them well. I told them I was excited before the game. I had watched many Classics from the couch with my family and I told them that today I had to live it and do something great. I have achieved it and I am very happy,” he concluded.
