Ancelotti’s Cheeky Jibe: Bellingham Reveals the Hilarious Reason He Almost Didn’t Sign
Jude Bellingham Reveals Joke with Carlo Ancelotti About Younger Brother Jobe
Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham shared a lighthearted moment with manager Carlo Ancelotti about his younger brother Jobe, who plays for Sunderland.
According to a report by Tribal Football, Bellingham recalled the joke on his YouTube channel, stating that Ancelotti threatened to sign Jobe after he scored two goals for Sunderland.
Bellingham, an English midfielder, joined Real Madrid from Dortmund ahead of last season for a transfer fee of 103 million euros (approximately 151.8 billion won). He exceeded expectations, playing 42 games, scoring 23 goals, and providing 13 assists, helping the team win La Liga, the Supercopa de España, and the UEFA Champions League.
After the season, Bellingham received individual awards, including UCL Young Player of the Year, Assist King, and Squad of the Season. He was also named La Liga Player of the Year and Team of the Year, as well as Real Madrid Player of the Year.
The current season has started well for Bellingham, who led the team to victory in the UEFA Super Cup against Atalanta, recording one assist. However, he has recently been injured and is focusing on recovery.
Jobe Bellingham, Jude’s younger brother, has great potential, with high football intelligence and skills to play in all areas of the attack. He has represented England at all age levels and has captained the team.
Last season, Jobe scored 7 goals and provided 1 assist in 47 games for Sunderland. This season, he has provided 1 assist in 4 games, with reports of interest from Tottenham Hotspur and Real Madrid.
Bellingham shared the joke with Ancelotti on his YouTube channel, saying, “I remember when Jobe scored two goals (at Sunderland). Ancelotti said, ‘We’ve made the wrong signing, we’re going to bring Jobe here.’ I said, ‘Where are you going to put him?’ He said, ‘In your position!’ and started laughing.”
