JAKARTA - Winger Jude Bellingham was able to become a Real Madrid star again when he beat Napoli 3-2 in the Champions League match. He contributed one assist and a goal in a duel at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, Wednesday, October 4 in the morning WIB. It turns out that striker Vinicius Junior has a story about Bellingham's arrival to Madrid.

Bellingham's brilliant performance has been shown since being brought to Madrid from Borussia Dortmund. His sharpness made Madrid forget about Kylian MBappe and Erling Haaland for a moment.

At least this England winger can replace Karim Benzema as Los Merengues' goal engine. Even the 20-year-old player is considered more complete because he is not only good at passing but also breaking into the opponent's goal.

Bellingham's purchase was not in vain. Madrid president Florentino Perez admitted that they had to compete with Manchester City and Liverpool who wanted to bring Bellingham back to England.

In fact, the two clubs offer bigger contracts than Madrid offered. But Bellingham made the right decision accepting Madrid's offer.

Madrid's success in getting Bellingham was inseparable from Vinicius' support. In fact, according to Diario AS, this Brazilian striker played a major role by persuading Bellingham to come to the Santiago Bernabeu. It is not half-hearted for him to send a message to Bellingham every day.

"I really want Bellingham to join Madrid. I've been sending messages to him many times since last year. In fact, I send messages almost every day. I told him to move to Madrid," said Vinicius.

Bellingham also did not hesitate to praise his tandem. According to him Vinicius is a talented player. Their close cooperation was seen when Madrid beat Napoli.

"He's really amazing. Even to me he's the best player in the world right now. He's one of the talented players. He makes things easier for me. His speed and talent are really impressive," said Bellingham.

In the match against Napoli, coach Carlo Ancelotti tried to pair them up. By pulling Vinicius deeper, Bellingham can do his best.

Even Vinicius, who had decreased due to the injury he was experiencing, is expected to return to his duties during a duet with Bellingham.
