Real Madrid visit Getafe in the only La Liga clash on Thursday menu, with all eyes set on impeccable Jude Bellingham. The brilliant player has spoken to Realmadrid TV, discussing what it means to play for Los Blancos, reflecting on his best moments so far and showing his most intimate side.The England international said he’s hoping to stay for many more years at this club, ‘the biggest club in the world’.”You know Real Madrid is the biggest club in the world, but when you see it up close, like with the renovation works at the Bernabeu, it’s just unbelievable. It’s like playing at the Colosseum, you feel like a gladiator. It’s really special. You never imagine how big this club is. It’s impossible to go out and not be recognised. Sometimes that’s great, others not so much,” revealed Bellingham, reminiscing about the day of his presentation as the new Real Madrid player.🗣️ Jude Bellingham: “When I’m home my parents honestly are more focused on me being a good person, a good role model to my younger brother and friends. They always say football is just a bonus.” 👏 pic.twitter.com/A9XpsURq7w— Football Talk (@FootballTalkHQ) February 1, 2024 “It was an unforgettable day. It was surreal, just an unbelievable experience and one of the best days of my life. I didn’t want to get too carried away, I’m more comfortable when I’m playing football, but it was a great day for my family and friends. So happy. Look at the selfie. The number 5 is a big number at this club. It was a beautiful day and I feel really proud about how it all went. I was so nervous. When it was my turn to talk and the president called me up to the stand, I was really nervous. I didn’t know what I was going to say, I hadn’t prepared anything. I just said whatever came into my head. It went well but I was really nervous.”##NAJAVA_MECA_7838781##Asked about himself personally, Jude was eager to prove that he’s the same like the guy we see each weekend (or sooner) out there on the pitch.”I’m the same guy in interviews, at home or with my friends. I like to joke around and laugh, I love having a good time. I have an amazing opportunity to do what I love the most. There aren’t many people in the world who can say that and I appreciate all I’m achieving. I laugh with my teammates every day, but when it’s time to be serious, I change into a completely different person. When I’m in the dressing room I’m focused on being a professional and I enjoy my teammates’ company. My day-to-day life depends on what’s going on at the time and who’s coming over to visit. It depends on the day of the week or the games we have. I’m usually exhausted after training.”LA LIGA – MATCHDAY 20Postponed matchesWednesdayBarcelona – Osasuna 1-0 (0-0)/Roque 63/Atl.
