On the eve of the Anfield match against Liverpool it fell to Jude Bellingham accompany Carlo Ancelotti in the usual press conference the day before at home real Madrid. “THE Reds – he reports Brand – they are first in both the Premier League and the Champions League, they are a good team. They have improved their level and tomorrow will be an excellent test for us. There is great trust in the locker room and I believe in this group. I have no doubt that every player who takes to the pitch will be able to impact the match.”
The ex Borussia Dortmundthen, talks about the change of role that came this year with the transition from attacking midfielder to midfielder: “It was a change like any other. When there are new signings the dynamics of the game change, but I have always shown that I can play in multiple roles and I don’t feel conditioned by this type of thing. I feel happier playing as a number 10. I talk to Ancelotti every day and I have a great relationship with him I scored a lot, but I have contributed. We are a team with many players, very versatile. I know where I feel most comfortable, but I have the responsibility to maximize my performance in any position.”
It is inevitable that the next question is about the performance of Kylian Mbappe: “He is doing very well and his contribution has been very positive. I am convinced that as time goes by he will play even better.”
Space, then, for the theme linked to the absence of Vinicius Jr: “He is one of the best players in the world… if not the best. It’s a major loss, but I have full faith that the rest of the team can replace him. It’s our responsibility to each of us. We have to take a step forward even with his absence.”
