No changes of role for Bellingham despite Mbappe arrival

Bellingham, 21, enjoyed a breakout season in his LaLiga debut, scoring 23 goals in 42 games to help Madrid win LaLiga and the Champions League.

The England midfielder also took home the LaLiga Best Player Award.

Los Blancos will only get better with Mbappe on their side, who joined the club on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain.

Ancelotti assured that Bellingham’s role will not change in order to accomodate Mbappe.

“Nothing changes for him. Nothing changes,” he said. “The first season, he surprised a lot, because he showed fantastic quality, a really mature guy. The next season will not be different.

“He is going to be one of the best players that we have, supporting a lot the team with his quality.”

Ancelotti defend Bellingham

Bellingham scored in his EURO 2024 debut with England against Serbia and Slovakia.

However, the 21-year-old was criticized for his performance in the European Championship final against Spain.

The Italian manager also came to the defense of Bellingham, saying he played well for the Three Lions.

“This is an opinion but Bellingham played really well at the Euros,” said Ancelotti. “England played really well, they reached the final and were close to winning it. I don’t know how the players are tired for the game.”

“The most important players are used to playing every three days, they manage that really well and arrive at the end of the season without any problems.”

Real Madrid concluded their U.S. tour with a 2-1 victory over Ancelotti’s former club, Chelsea.
