Real Madrid is currently experiencing a troubling technical and psychological state following the team’s weak and unconvincing performance since the beginning of the season. The heavy loss to Barcelona in the Clasico, by four goals, has deepened the wounds of the Madrid team.
The issues extend beyond the technical level, affecting the psychological aspect as well, particularly after Vinicius Junior, the team’s star, lost the Ballon d’Or to Rodri, the standout player from Manchester City and the Spanish national team.
In light of this, a Spanish press report highlighted the anger felt by star Jude Bellingham regarding the behavior of Real Madrid’s management. According to information from the newspaper “AS,” Bellingham is upset with the club for overlooking him as a potential candidate for the Golden Ball and focusing their campaign on Vinicius Junior instead.
The headlines have been filled with strong reactions to Rodri winning the Ballon d’Or, with Real Madrid viewing Vinicius’ failure to win the award as a “disrespect.” Senior figures at the club have suggested that Dani Carvajal was more deserving of the award if it had not gone to Vinicius in the first place.
The report noted that Jude Bellingham has become the first victim of the potential arrival of French player Kylian Mbappe at the Bernabeu.
Ancelotti is reportedly trying to contain the English player’s anger, urging him to focus on helping the team navigate this very challenging period that Real Madrid is currently facing.
Meanwhile, speculation continues about how Mbappe and Vinicius might cooperate on the field, with the Brazilian player maintaining his position while Mbappe plays in a deeper role.
