Jude Bellingham Denies Reports of Player Discontent After Xabi Alonso's Dismissal from Real Madrid

Jude Bellingham has publicly criticized media reports claiming he and other Real Madrid players were not convinced by Xabi Alonso's coaching ideas and leadership, following Alonso's dismissal from the club. Bellingham, 22, wrote on his app JB5, calling the reports 'what a load of bullshit' and stating he has 'always hoped the truth would come out.' He added that people should not believe everything they read and criticized those spreading 'harmful and false information for clicks and controversies.' According to reports from The Athletic, Alonso was fired due to internal dissatisfaction, and players including Vinicius Junior and Federico Valverde were reportedly not convinced by his methods. Real Madrid will be led temporarily by Alvaro Arbeloa going forward, but it is unclear who will take over permanently.
