Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has explained Jude Bellingham’s impressive goalscoring form in recent times, citing a tactical shift in the team; indeed, there continues to be an English midfield player shining in La Liga.
Bellingham’s Scoring Streak
The 20-year-old Jude Bellingham made a great mark on his first season with whites after scoring 23 goals and becoming the second top scorer after Vinicius Junior in the club. He had a rough start in the 2024-25 season but marked the first against Osasuna on November 9. Since then, he has not been left out of scoring for five consecutive La Liga fixtures. This scoring continued on Real Madrid’s latest victory convincingly by 3 goals to nil over Girona.
Ancelotti on Bellingham’s Revival
Ancelotti, when asked about the resurgence of the midfielder, placed more emphasis on the new playing style of the team. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Italy coach believes that the added attacking moves permit Bellingham in exploiting spaces and showcasing some finishing touches. Again, besides scoring, he has proven to be a brilliant creator with three assists in a similar time frame.
“Apart from that, there’s not much change on him personally. What changes are the dynamics in the team: there is a lot more movement up front now, and he picks it up,” said Ancelotti in the press conference. “He scores, which is important, but the rest always stays the same.”
