According to Marca, during the half-time break of Real Madrid’s first game of the season against Mallorca, a conversation between Bellingham, Mbappe, Vinicius, and Rodrygo drew attention from fans.
Sources reveal that the exchange was tense, with Bellingham expressing dissatisfaction with his teammates’ performance. The English midfielder demanded that his teammates finish their attacks and be more aggressive in their runs and pressing.
Mbappe and Vinicius discussed switching positions and the difficulties they faced against Mallorca’s defense.
Mbappe said: “I think when we switch positions, they can’t keep up with us. You can quickly pass the ball to the other side.”
Bellingham made a demand: “You three, you have to finish the attack, because dropping back to defend is very tiring.”
Mbappe seemed to agree, replying: “That’s right. I’ve been emphasizing that we need to finish attacks.”
Bellingham continued, pointing out: “Work hard, work hard. Create space, and then…” He mimicked a shooting motion.
However, this conversation did not bring the expected results for Real Madrid. Bellingham’s concerns unfortunately came true.
Mallorca’s goal was a result of a Real Madrid error. The home team capitalized on a counterattack, earning a corner kick that was eventually headed in by Muriqi, beating Courtois’s goal.
After the game, Ancelotti admitted that he’s still searching for the best way to arrange his forward line. After the draw with Mallorca, Real Madrid will face Valladolid at the Bernabeu, presenting an opportunity for Ancelotti to find balance and improve their attacking efficiency.
