Online video of Jude Bellingham’s response to Toni Kroos’ brilliant performance against Juventus has gone viral.
Bellingham joined Real Madrid for an initial £88.5 million sum, and in just one game against Manchester United, he scored his first goal, a beautiful chip past Andre Onana, earning him the title of Man of the Match.
Then, when it began with a 3-0 loss, he learned what El Clasico is all about.
Real’s last match of their preseason tour of the United States ended in a 3-1 defeat to Juventus at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida.
The fact that Bellingham was completely in awe of the greatness Kroos has in his locker, however, was a crucial moment from the game.
The refined Kroos produced a beautiful ball in behind for Vinicius Jr. to grasp onto from his own half, with the weight ideal.
After Juventus had taken a 2-0 lead, the Brazilian took the ball in his stride down the left and dinked it in to close the gap.
Bellingham, who was a few yards away, was in awe of what Kroos had just wrought.
He gave a loud cheer as soon as the pass was played and then began to shake his wrist in an obvious display of approval.
The 20-year-old will undoubtedly benefit from Kroos’ experience, and many people saw Bellingham’s amazing response.
One person said: “The look on his face. The filthiness of that pass repulses him. I am that.”This is what I imagined when I said I wanted Jude at Madrid, just a 19-year-old prodigy being in awe and learning from one of the greatest midfielders of all time,” a second person commented.
“Jude is going to have the time of his life this season,” a third person added.
Another added: “Jude is present because of this. to pick his and Luka’s brain. Two deities.
“Vini’s finishing, Bellingham’s response, plus Toni arranging his hair,” said a fifth. Perfect in every way!”
The final commenter merely said, “Jude appreciates ball.”
Midfield metronomes Kroos and Luka Modric started the game for Bellingham, and manager Carlo Ancelotti tried a 4-4-2 diamond formation to make the most of his new acquisition.
“It gives us the chance to change the system. I don’t mind not having a set system, Ancelotti reportedly told Diario AS.
“On a personal level, we have discovered Bellingham’s best quality, which is that he works better as an attacking midfielder than as a center midfielder. We must wait until the season to observe it.
