Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso has revealed his plans for Jude Bellingham to return to the attacking midfield role that brought him huge success during his debut 2023/24 season at the Santiago Bernabéu.
The England international will be deployed as a classic No. 10, operating closer to goal rather than in deeper midfield positions. This tactical adjustment is aimed at unlocking Bellingham’s scoring instincts, after he delivered a remarkable debut campaign filled with goals and decisive performances.
By reinstating Bellingham in this advanced role, Alonso hopes to maximize the 21-year-old’s attacking impact and strengthen Real Madrid’s pursuit of silverware in both La Liga and the UEFA Champions League.
