LaLiga: Mourinho gives Bellingham new role in Real Madrid team
Real Madrid to Utilize Jude Bellingham in Advanced Role Next Season
Real Madrid manager José Mourinho plans to utilize midfielder Jude Bellingham in a central attacking role next season. Reports from AS indicate that the team will adopt a 4-2-3-1 formation, allowing Bellingham greater freedom to operate near the penalty area.
Last season, Real Madrid primarily employed a 4-3-3 setup, with Bellingham playing on the left side of midfield. However, Mourinho believes that placing the England international closer to goal will enhance the team’s performance.
Bellingham’s potential in an advanced position was showcased during the recent 2026 World Cup, where he played alongside Harry Kane. The midfielder scored seven goals, contributing to England’s bronze medal finish in the tournament.
