The talent of Real Madrid surprises his interlocutors with the maturity of the concepts he expresses. “Tell me, how old are you brother?”, exclaims Rid Ferdinand during the interview.
The maturity of Jude Bellingham holes the video, leaves the interlocutors speechless. Dry, sensible, perfect in the answers he gives in the heat of the moment. Never a smudge despite the age. Never banal. The former Borussia Dortmund player has an ‘old man’s head’ on a young body, shows the wisdom of a veteran when he talks about himself and conquers with the simplicity of his sentences.
“He’s the guy you wish your daughter would take home.”he says in a message shared on social media Rio Ferdinand after interviewing the Real Madrid player on the sidelines of the Champions League match won on penalties against Manchester City.
Lucid on the spot, when he hit one of the shots of the series he made it to the semi-final, equally on live TV. At 20, the former Birminghan City youth player confirms not only that he has talent but also great humility and good self-awareness. He is strong but he knows that he can be even stronger if discipline at work remains the main path to follow. And he has no intention of losing her.

The way he answered the questions asked of him during the interview surprised everyone. “How do you answer these questions so eloquently? Tell me, how old are you brother?”is the joke from Ferdinand, captivated by the sincerity of the English star who was asked if he has ever felt the ‘weight’ of the shirt he wears, of the mentality that exists in a big club like the Blancos where winning is an obligation.
Bellingham’s reply was disarming, no one expected such a sentence. Those who listened to him could do nothing but take note of such balance: “I think you have to see it as a responsibility more than a pressure. If you want to come to a club like Real Madrid, then you have to be willing to be criticized, to always be under scrutiny and in that spotlight.”
It’s not over. Bellingham definitively stunned Ferdinand, Lescott and the journalist Laura Woods when she closed the speech like this: “The club does a great job and if they don’t think you are ready they will give you a hand. If Madrid took you it’s probably because they think you can do it.”
During the interview he also spoke about how happy he was to win at home in front of his brother. “It’s the first time he’s seen me play for Real Madrid. I’m really proud of it”. The gloss is dedicated to the Italian technician, Carlo Ancelotti. “It gives you calm and confidence – he says, telling an anecdote from before the match -. I caught him yawning and said: boss, are you tired? He replied: Yes, now go out there and keep me awake.”
