Bellingham Is Arrogant In A Respectful Way – Alan Shearer

Real Madrid midfielder, Jude Bellingham is arrogant in a good way, Alan Shearer has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, the young midfielder is simply phenomenal, and his stature makes him appear arrogant while he plays football, but not in a disrespectful way.

Shearer added that going to a club like Real and immediately having an impact is not an easy thing to do.

His words, “He’s phenomenal. You can’t be anything but hugely impressed because of his stature. He’s got an arrogance in a good way, I’m not saying that in a disrespectful way; to be a top player, you need to have that something about you, and he has got that.

We all knew he was a great talent, but the way he has gone into one of, if not the, biggest club in the world and taken it on as if it’s just a walk in the park or a game in the street, he’s playing at the biggest club, it’s phenomenal.

Where he also impresses is the way he handles the media side of things. Fairly or unfairly, you’re expected, and it’s a duty of you as an England player to go out and speak to the media, and it’s the same when you’re a Real Madrid player. Not everyone is as eloquent as what you’d want them to be, but the way he handles the questions and the way he handles everything that is thrown at him is so impressive.”

WOW.
