In an internet post, Jude Bellingham responded to the change of coach at Real Madrid, using strong words to criticize the media.
Jude Bellingham responded to Xabi Alonso’s departure from Real with harsh words and attacked the media. “Until now, I’ve let too much of it slide, always hoping that the truth would come out in time. But honestly… what a load of crap,” the former Borussia Dortmund pro wrote on his JB5 app. “I really feel sorry for the people who believe every word these clowns and their ‘sources’ say.”
Bellingham criticizes “misinformation for clicks”
The post refers to media reports. These reports claimed that Bellingham was one of the players who did not believe in Xabi Alonso’s tactics and ideas. In addition, there were reports of a tense relationship between the coach and some of the stars. In particular, a dispute between the coach and star striker Vinicius Jr. during last fall’s Clasico was brought up again. After that, things only went “downhill,” wrote ABC, for example.
“Don’t believe everything you read. At some point, these people will be held accountable for spreading such harmful misinformation for clicks and controversy,” said 22-year-old Bellingham.
“Thank you for everything, Mister”
Xabi Alonso had to leave Real Madrid after a good six months with the team due to too many uninspired performances and the loss of the Supercopa to FC Barcelona. Former national player Alvaro Arbeloa (39), previously coach of the second team, has now taken over the position. Real enjoyed similar success in 2016 when Zinedine Zidane was promoted from coach of the second team to coach of the star ensemble. However, the careers of the two soccer coaches are not comparable.
Bellingham posted a photo showing him and Xabi Alonso with happy faces. Bellingham had kind words for the former Leverkusen coach. “Thank you for everything, Mister,” said Bellingham. In a post on Instagram, the England international added: “It was a pleasure, all the best for your future!”
Cup in the evening
Without Xabi Alonso, the Blancos continue their Copa del Rey campaign in the evening. The record champions will then face second division side Albacete Balompie away (9 p.m.) and are looking to advance to the quarterfinals. On Saturday, UD Levante will visit the Bernabeu in the battle for points against the second-placed team in the league.
