Bellingham: 'My Goals Aren't Luck; Critics Don't Understand Football'

Jude Bellingham, the dynamic midfielder for Real Madrid, has been a pivotal figure for the team, consistently contributing to their offensive play. Despite his impressive performances, some critics have dismissed his goal-scoring prowess as mere luck, suggesting that the ball fortuitously finds him in scoring positions.

In response to these assertions, Bellingham stated, "I've heard people say I'm lucky, that the ball always lands at my feet in the box. It's amusing that they consider themselves knowledgeable about football and yet make such comments. My answer is that many players might enter the box five times and come away with nothing, blaming bad luck. But I make it a point to enter the box 30 times a game, and if I get the ball once, I capitalize on it. I don't know, maybe it's luck. But when it happens repeatedly, you can't call it luck anymore."
