"I know that I'm disappointing him", Bellingham's confession about boss Ancelotti

Jude Bellingham is probably the best player in the world right now. When Real Madrid paid Borussia Dortmund over $100 million for him this summer, they were hoping to add a quality midfielder who could help raise the team's level. But not even the most optimistic of fans imagined that he would show the excellent performances he is having.

With 11 goals he is the top scorer in La Liga, surpassing stars like Robert Lewandowski, Alvaro Morata and Antoine Griezmann. And in Champions League his stats are just as good: he has scored 4 goals in the 4 games he played. This is even more surprising considering that Jude is a midfielder and not a striker.

All this made him worthy of the Golden Boy 2023 award, which Tuttosport magazine gives to the best young player of the year. There he gave an interview in which he was asked about his success at Real Madrid. About this, he said: “I work hard, a real commitment to improve myself, but the credit goes to Mr Ancelotti, who found the right position for me and gave me more freedom on the pitch. So now I'm flying”.

However, he then shocked everyone by revealing where he has let the Italian coach down: "But I know that I'm disappointing him in one aspect. I just don't speak Spanish yet. I'm sorry, but I've encountered unexpected obstacles with this language. It's hard for me, I admit. Anyway, I promise to give it my all, guaranteed."

He's one of the favorites for the Ballon d'Or

Although there is still a long time to go, fans are already making predictions about who will be chosen as the best player in the world next year. Lionel Messi assured that the one he received in October will be the last of his career, so now a competition will begin to find his successor. Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland are the favorites, but if Real Madrid's season is good, Jude Bellingham has a chance to compete with them.
