Real Madrid head coach Alvaro Arbeloa did not shower compliments on Jude Bellingham during the press conference at Tuesday's.

Before an important match against Benfica, a victory that would guarantee Madrid a place in the Champions League playoffs, the coach made a strong statement about the Englishman’s role in the team. Arbeloa, who has left the team for the first time since the release of Xabi Alonso, is laying the foundation of the future Madrid at Bellingham.

“It’s not like Bellingham was unsedated, but from the first day I washed the gravel with wine yaks. Kozhen knows this from television broadcasts, but if you see it close, it’s even more offensive,” the coach admitted..

Arbeloa placed a special emphasis on the leadership qualities of the 22-ranked midfielder, revealing the show's story from the training process:.

" Days later, 48 years after the game, I told you - and I’m not saying anything at all - “stop running.”. Gra, as he shows in training, his dedication is right. I'm already writing that I love such a great man as Jude Bellingham. “You will be the outermost stone of this team through many rocks,” said the fakhivet.

The coach's encouragement is vital for Bellingham, who is heading into the 2025-26 season through rehabilitation following shoulder surgery.. The Englishman's statistics are rather modest: 4 goals in 17 La Liga matches and 2 goals in 6 Champions League games.

The situation became tense after Xabi Alonso was fired, when some of the fans at the Santiago Bernabeu booed the players, including Jude. In addition, the merezha became more sensitive to his behavior in the field.

Last year, having scored against Monaco (6:1), Bellingham celebrated the goal by drinking and drinking, which appealed to the haters.

“There are two ways to make peace: cry and laugh, or just relax. I know the truth about my life and about those that I give commands. The external noise has no meaning,” the footballer himself commented on the situation.

It seems that with the arrival of Arbeloa, Bellingham is not losing his best condition, but is taking away new carte blanche for the role of the squad of the new Real Madrid.
