The Englishman Jude Bellingham, a Real Madrid player who will receive the Golden Boy award this Monday in Turin (north), praised his coach, the Italian Carlo Ancelotti, who has found him “the perfect position” to fly on the field.
The award organized by the newspaper Tuttosport that recognizes the greatest young talent in Europe will crown this afternoon the twenty-third player, the first from Real Madrid, who will inherit the award that the Spanish Gavi, from Barcelona, ??received last year.
In the voting, Bellingham swept, receiving the maximum score from 45 of the 50 judges participating, but for the midfielder it is all credit to Ancelotti. “I put in my efforts and a fierce commitment to improve with work, but the credit goes to Ancelotti, who found the perfect position for me and gave me more freedom on the field. So now I fly,” he declared in an interview with Tuttosport.
An Ancelotti who compared him a few days ago to Kaká, but who Bellingham feels he is disappointing in one aspect. “I still don’t speak Spanish… I’m sorry, but I’m encountering unexpected obstacles with this language. It’s difficult for me, I admit it. In any case, I promise maximum commitment, guaranteed,” he commented.

Bellingham is already thinking about the future and his ambition leads him to set no limits. “I am a person who loves to compete and is ambitious. So now that I have the prestigious Golden Boy in my hands I want to move forward quickly: I hope this award will be a springboard to win many other trophies,” she said.
Furthermore, he dared to predict who his successors could be in the coming years, pointing to his Turkish colleague Arda Güler as a favorite. “I will say three names. Firstly, Arda Güler: he is a phenomenon, we see him training and we are delighted with him. Then my former teammate Jamie Bynoe-Gittens from Borussia Dortmund. And finally my brother Jobe, a thoroughbred forward like ours father,” he noted. “Now he plays in the second division, but if they were to be promoted to the Premier League… watch out for him!” He said.
