Jude Bellingham credits Jose Mourinho for rediscovering form at Real Madrid | OneFootball

Jude Bellingham has credited new Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho with helping him rediscover his form after a frustrating two years. The England midfielder says a tactical shift has restored his licence to roam, and he wants to carry this momentum into Europe.

He has started the season strongly, scoring in La Liga against Espanyol before delivering a playmaking display versus Real Sociedad. In that match he set up Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior, underlining his renewed threat.

"I feel greater freedom again, greater freedom to decide when to drop back, when to push forward, or when to make runs into the box," he said, speaking to Real Madrid's official media channels.

"I think this is the best position for me, as it allows me to show all my abilities," he added. "I am truly grateful to the manager for his trust in me and for giving me the chance to play this way."

"They've made a very good impression on the group, both as people, which is the most important thing, and as footballers," Bellingham said.

"It is extremely important to build momentum," he concluded. "Now comes a difficult phase with the start of the Champions League, where the matches pile up, and it is good to have a good start."
