Overview
- Gullit told beIN Sports the midfielder is overburdened by teammates’ limited off-ball work and called him Real Madrid’s best player.
- Richard Keys challenged that view on air, labeling Bellingham an agitator and citing previous England selection issues.
- Keys claimed two senior England internationals do not want Bellingham around, a suggestion Gullit dismissed as ridiculous.
- Bellingham assisted Rodrygo in the 2-1 home loss to Manchester City and later said he has 100% faith in Alonso.
- The setback prolonged a run of just two wins in eight games, heightening concern over team balance since Toni Kroos’ departure and the pressure on the manager.
