Bellingham: “Only fools forget the R”
Jude Bellingham wanted to address the rumours that spoke this past week of internal problems in the Real Madrid dressing room. Specifically of alleged friction between the team’s main stars after the arrival of Kylian Mbappé to the Madrid team. The English midfielder was in charge of denying it on RMTV: “I’ve seen a lot on the networks. That Rodrygo is missing… or that I’m missing, they say, trying to create a negative dynamic. Kylian has arrived… and I have a good relationship with Rodrygo and Vini. In general, it’s as if we’ve been together for a long time. We’re great friends outside and we enjoy it a lot inside. Today we saw what we’re capable of doing.”
But the Englishman, a true leader in Ancelotti’s team, did not limit himself to that. After the match he supported Rodrygo, who is having a less sweet start to the season than one might expect, and he supported him on social media. Rodrygo published, as usual, an image of the match in which he can be seen running towards Bellingham and Mbappé.
The image, as is often the case, was commented on by several teammates, including Vinicius and Fran García, but Bellingham’s response had special meaning, as he referred to the controversies that have arisen at the start of this season, whether fictional or not, about Rodrygo’s role in this Madrid and whether he is being left aside a little in favour of Bellingham himself, Vinicius and Mbappé.
“Only fools forget the R,” wrote the Englishman, accompanying the text with a white heart. Few words but a clear message that the Brazilian striker will surely appreciate.
