It is not only Jude Bellingham’s stormy development on the field that stands out. The twenty-year-old midfielder also impressed in front of the camera following the elimination of Manchester City. “Tell me how old you are!”
Bellingham was responsible for the elimination of the defending champion with Real on Wednesday. “It was a relief,” the England international said on TNT Sports. ‘You put so much energy into the match. I’ve played once morest City before. When you think you are close to a result, suddenly they strike. We worked so hard, I might hardly walk anymore. Then this is a great reward.’
Bellingham was asked by Rio Ferdinand how he deals with the enormous pressure. ‘I think you should see it more as a responsibility than as a pressure. If you want to move to a club like Real, you have to be prepared to be criticized. You are in those circumstances, you are in the spotlight.’
“And you know what?” Bellingham continued. ‘I think the club is doing a great job. If they don’t think you’re ready, they’ll put you at ease and things like that. But if you’re here, that probably means you’re ready. You have to continue to trust the process.’
Ferdinand cannot believe his ears
Ferdinand heard his compatriot’s answer with astonishment. “How does he answer these questions so eloquently at this age?” the former top defender wondered out loud. ‘How old are you, bro? Tell me how old you are!’, he turned to Bellingham and then to the presenter. “If your daughter brings someone home, you hope it’s someone like him.”
