⚽️ It's game time! Real Madrid is gearing up to face Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday at the iconic Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, and all eyes are on Jude Bellingham. The star midfielder is set to reunite with his former teammates, but there's more to the story than just a friendly meetup.
Bellingham, who dazzled fans last season with an incredible 23 goals and 13 assists, is currently navigating a nine-game scoring drought this season. 😱 With only two assists to his name so far, some might be raising eyebrows, but not Coach Carlo Ancelotti.
\"We're satisfied with his work, I'm very satisfied,\" Ancelotti assured reporters at a press conference on Monday. \"He works a lot, he's always present, he competes, he fights, he sacrifices himself. It's true he hasn't scored the goals he scored last year, but the surprise isn't this year, the surprise was last year, when he scored lots of goals which nobody expected and helped us a lot.\"
Ancelotti emphasized that the \"problem this year isn't that we're lacking Bellingham's goals.\" Instead, he highlighted the overall talent up front. \"We've always scored goals, and we'll always score, because we have talented players up front. For us, in this moment, the work he's doing is more important than the goals he scored last year,\" he added.
🔥 Looks like Ancelotti is standing strong behind Bellingham, focusing on his contribution to the team's dynamics rather than just the scoreboard. Will Bellingham break his scoring drought against his old club? Fans are buzzing with anticipation!
Don't miss the action as these two European giants clash. It's more than just a game; it's a reunion, a challenge, and possibly the turning point for Bellingham's season. Let's go! 🙌
