Jude Bellingham challenged the prediction of the next golden boy: “Watch out for him!” – real madrid

The Real Madrid midfielder will receive the 2023 Golden Boy award on Monday

Jude Bellingham will be received in Turin on Monday Golden Boy Award 2023, awarded by “Tuttosport”. By obtaining 97% of the votes, the English midfielder dominated the jury’s choices.

“It’s fantastic. An extraordinary result. I’m very happy, and of course I thank all the jurors who voted for me,” he began in an interview with the Italian newspaper.

He continued: “This was my last chance because in 2024 I will not be able to compete anymore [a este troféu]Because I won’t be old enough to do it [prémio é atribuído a jogadores sub-21]. I’m glad I got it on my third try. “I wanted it so bad. It’s a lifetime prize, and you can only win it once.”

Jude Bellingham was also asked about his time at Real Madrid, where he has already scored 15 goals and provided four assists, figures higher than those he achieved last season with Borussia Dortmund: “I made an effort, committed to improving, but it’s merit.” It’s from coach Ancelotti , who found the right position for me and gave me more freedom on the field. And now I’m flying.”

Ancelotti was full of praise for the midfielder, but Jude Bellingham admitted he was unresponsive in one respect: “I know I’m disappointing. It’s just that I still don’t speak Spanish… I’m sorry, but ‘I’m facing unexpected obstacles with the language.’ It’s difficult, I realize that. Anyway, I promise to do my best, that’s guaranteed.”

At the end of the interview, the Real Madrid midfielder was challenged to predict the next edition of the award: “First, Arda Guler, now recovered from the injuries that prevented him from making his debut for Real Madrid: he is a phenomenon, we see him in training and we were happy, then my old teammate Jimmy.” “Benno-Gittens, and finally my brother Jobe, is a pure striker like our father, but he plays for Sunderland, and the rules don’t allow him to qualify. However, if the Black Cats go up to the Premier League, beware of him.”
