Hungry for sport, he grew up to the sound of Formula 1 engines and the exploits of Ronaldinho. Today, with a Master's degree in sports journalism, he no longer misses an F1 Grand Prix or a PSG match, his two passions and specialties.
This summer, Real Madrid finally managed to obtain the signature of Kylian Mbappé whose contract at PSG was expiring. But to make room for the captain of the France team, Carlo Ancelotti changed his plans, even partly sacrificing Jude Bellingham whose influence on the Merengue game has largely diminished this season.
After many long years of waiting, Kylian Mbappé ended up signing Real Madrid last summer when his contract ended PSG. Therefore, Carlo Ancelotti had to shake up his offensive animation to integrate the captain of the France team into his system. So, Rodrygo ended up being relegated to the sidelines, while Jude Bellingham saw its offensive impact be diminished. A situation that worries the journalist AS Antonio Romero who does not hide his annoyance after the rout of the Real Madrid in the Clasico Saturday evening (0-4).
Bellingham losing influence
« Madrid fans, demanding and accustomed to triumph and success, have waited patiently for the arrival of the French striker to improve a team that has lifted all possible trophies and, for the moment, the blow is turning against them. A star of his stature and price can't miss what he missed and can't find himself offside repeatedly, even if Flick's team is working well – which they are », writes the Spanish journalist in his column for ASbefore regretting that the Real Madrid sacrificed Jude Bellingham pour Kylian Mbappé.
“The Madrilenians sacrificed the offensive talent of Bellingham”
« The Madrilenians spent a lot of money, changed the way they played and sacrificed Bellingham's offensive talent for Mbappé to make the difference, and so far it's not working. Freed from defensive duties, indisputable starter since day one and playing 90 minutes of each match by decree, the French international is struggling to find his place on the pitch. He looked helpless at times in the face of Barca's defensive efficiency and his body language showed nervousness and little confidence in his ability to turn things around. The public even punished him with a few whistles, as a first warning that this is not the French championship or PSG », added Antonio Romero.
