Bellingham Has Settled Quicker At Real Madrid Than Ronaldo – Andrea Orlandi

La Liga TV pundit, Andrea Orlandi has come out to say that Jude Bellingham has had an impact on Real Madrid quicker than Cristiano Ronaldo. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, Ronaldo took a couple of months to start thriving at Real Madrid when he joined in 2009, but Bellingham hit the ground running immediately after his debut.

Orlandi added that he knew Jude would be very good, but he never expected him to thrive as soon as he did.

His words, “Yes, he (Ronaldo) did score quite a lot of goals when he joined the club, but you could see that wasn’t the real him up until a couple of months. With Bellingham, it was from pre-season, his first game I think he scored. And then in La Liga, it was the same. I knew he’d be very good but I thought in three or four years. He comes here and just destroys the league really and decides to be the best player. And in a club where Vinicius is there, Rodrygo, Luka Modric, Toni Kroos, he’s gone ‘I’m the best’.”

On Jude’s celebration, “I call it football arrogance. You can see he’s down to earth but the way he celebrates, ‘I’m Jude Bellingham, I’m here to make the difference’. I love that. And you need to have that if you want to be playing for Real Madrid at the level he’s playing.

Without him, Real Madrid is not the same team. They can still manage to win games, but they don’t have the star player who basically understands every situation that’s happening on the pitch – and that’s very difficult. To have that football intelligence and then with that body, being so strong, big, that technical ability as well. He’s got absolutely everything. He’s got the number five of Zinedine Zidane, he’s just signed for Real Madrid for big money, he’s got huge expectations on him and he just turns up and plays like he’s with his mates on a Sunday. So that tells you how big his personality is. England has a star.”

WOW.
