When a young player runs the show, drives the media, and puts his feet where his mouth is, it is bound to have a catastrophic effect on the team. Jude Bellingham’s stature was important at his previous club in Germany. On many such occasions, Bellingham was accused by his former teammates of always wanting to be the ‘center of attention.’ They even claimed that he felt threatened by Erling Haaland’s growing popularity.
As a result, he would often applaud the fans individually instead of joining his teammates in synergy. According to Bild, it was also reported that he had snapped at his teammates multiple times and been less than a pleasing figure in the dressing room. However, it’s a new season for the German club as they have a new captain in Emre Can and expect stability in their struggle in the Bundesliga.
Bild further opened the accounts of some old players confessing that he was not too kind to some teammates either. One such occasion was when he could be heard swearing at teammate Nico Schulz, “You can’t play a f****g pass! You’re f****g shit. Every damn time!” This harsh reaction was provoked after Rangers knocked out Dortmund in the Europa League.
Fans defended the young midfielder citing that it was duly his passion to grow and get better than seemed disrespectful to the other players. Some had also labeled him as ‘too toxic,’ which might seem harsh. Nonetheless, Bellingham has certainly all his criticism in good spirits as he continues to perform and boss the midfield for his new club.

Jude Bellingham’s immediate influence at his new club
Bellingham completed his big money move to Spanish Giants Real Madrid for a reported €103 million (£89m/$110m), which could even rise by a further €30m. He has already opened his scoring tally against Athletic Club for the club and is running the show in their young midfield. Having inherited the legendary number 5, once worn by Zinedine Zidane, it would be exciting to see if he can match his legacy for the Los Blancos.
In his first competitive game against Athletic Bilbao, he increased the scoreboard for his new club. Eight minutes after teammate Rodrygo initiated the scoring for Madrid in the 28th minute, Bellingham scored his first goal by executing the ball well past Unai Simon. Surprisingly, Bellingham was playing the number 10 role, while the midfield consisted of Fede Valverde, Aurélien Tchouaméni, and Eduardo Camavinga.
The 20-year-old ran down to the end of the pitch and garnered the audience’s applause for his goal. While his goal might not have been beautiful, his work rate was world-class. Throughout the game, he was seen everywhere, putting in a couple of sliding tackles and winning possession for his team multiple times. As the player continues to showcase his five-star skills at the Bernabeu soon, this could be the arrival of a new star in La Liga.
