Bellingham Must Play Further Up The Pitch To Thrive Under Xabi Alonso – Salgado

Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso should push Jude Bellingham further up the pitch, Michel Salgado has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, despite Alonso suggesting that he’ll be using Bellingham in a deeper role within his system, a proven goalscorer like Jude is better off in the opponent’s half.

Salgado added that the all-action midfielder must be used in his most destructive position.

His words “I need Bellingham close to the box. I don’t need Bellingham coming back to receive the ball and to be too much in the build-up. He showed in the first year that he is a player with a special smell to go into the box.

With Xabi Alonso, I think he is going to play that role. I think he is going to be the key player behind Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe. We’re going to see a different Bellingham this year compared to last season. We’re going to see the best version of Bellingham this year, for sure.”

WOW.

Real Madrid Club de Fútbol, commonly referred to as Real Madrid, is a Spanish professional football club based in Madrid. The club competes in La Liga, the top tier of Spanish football.

Real Madrid has maintained the white shirt for its home kit throughout the history of the club. There was, however, one season that the shirt and shorts were not both white. It was an initiative undertaken by Juan Padrós in honor of an English team Corinthian F.C., which he had met on one of his trips, one of the most famous teams at the time known for its elegance and sportsmanship.

It was under Florentino Pérez’s first presidency (2000–2006) that Real Madrid started its ambition of becoming the world’s richest professional football club. The club ceded part of its training grounds to the city of Madrid in 2001, and sold the rest to four corporations: Repsol YPF, Mutua Automovilística de Madrid, Sacyr Vallehermoso and OHL.

Hala Madrid is a magazine published quarterly for the Real Madrid club members and the Madridistas Fan Club card holders. The phrase Hala Madrid, meaning “Forward Madrid” or “Go Madrid”, is also the title of the club’s official anthem, which is often sung by the Madridistas (the club’s fans).
