Bellingham trembled when he heard Real fans chant his name
"This is the most exciting moment I've ever heard on the field," Bellingham said after the win at the Bernabeu. "I couldn't believe it. My legs shook when I heard the fans chant my name at the end of the match. I came to Real for these moments and want to continue like that. I feel the support of the people." fans in every ball. I don't know what I did to deserve it, but I'm very grateful."
At the Bernabeu yesterday, Real did not enter the game well, allowing Borja Mayoral to open the score for Getafe in the 11th minute. They equalized in the 47th minute thanks to a goal and created an overwhelming attack in the rest of the second half, but Real seemed to have to split points. It was not until the fifth minute that they added a goal. From Toni Kroos' throw-in, Lucas Vazquez went into the center area and finished from outside the penalty area, leaving goalkeeper David Soria without the ball. Bellingham hit the left foot diagonally, setting the score 2-1 for Real.
When asked about this goal, Bellingham said he chose a position and waited for the ball to bounce when he saw Vazquez preparing to finish. "It's not the most beautiful goal, but it's also a lot of mental work to get a sense of where the ball is going," said the 20-year-old midfielder. "I calmed down and scored. The fans exploded after that goal, and I've never experienced anything like it."
Having received a transfer fee of 110 million USD from Dortmund, Bellingham has scored in four consecutive matches, with the first three matches all away from home. Specifically, the England international scored the only goal in the 1-0 win over Celta Vigo, a brace in the 3-1 win over Almeria and scored a super volley that hit the top corner in the 2-0 win over Bilbao. Before Bellingham, only three players opened fire in all four La Liga matches in the 21st century, including Zlatan Ibrahimovic in 2009, Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009 and Cesc Fabregas in 2011.
According to Bellingham, the first three matches away from home were very difficult because he had to play in front of a crowd of opposing fans, but he was pleased that Real got through, even if they conceded first. "You couldn't ask for more," he said.
When asked about his welcome to the Bernabeu, Bellingham expressed: "It's a dream come true, and even more so when you score to help the home team win three points. It's hard to describe in words. I very happy but we still have a long way to go. I have to keep my feet on the ground and want to continue helping the team."
Coach Carlo Ancelotti is not surprised with Bellingham's quality. He recalled that his student contributed 14 goals and seven assists for Dortmund and was voted the Best Player in the Bundesliga last season. The Italian coach also praised Bellingham for being professional, learning very quickly, and promoting his strengths at Dortmund: receiving the ball between the lines and always directing the ball forward. Ancelotti believes that the England international will easily reach 15 goals in his first season with Real.
Bellingham leads the scoring race, while Real is at the top of La Liga with 12 absolute points. After a two-week break to make room for the national team, Real will meet Sociedad in round five of La Liga on September 17 and then play the opening match of Group C Champions League with Union Berlin on September 20, both at the Bernabeu.
