'Definition of Real Madrid': Bellingham hails teammate Mbappe on debut

England midfielder Jude Bellingham, who was named best player of the European Super Cup after his side's 2-0 win over Atalanta, spoke of teammate Kylian Mbappe, and considered him to be "a leader on the pitch".
"I think it shows the intent and the mentality of the team. When straight after you win the biggest prize there is, you want to go add a player like him... It's the definition of Real Madrid, that kind of signing," he told reporters.
"The way he played today is unbelievable, he is amazing to play with and he has been a great teammate so far. We just want to enjoy getting to understand each other's rhythm, and hopefully, assisting and scoring more goals," Bellingham continued.
"It's brilliant playing with him and [Vinicius Jr] but it's difficult sometimes. You've only got two seconds cause they are both gone. I saw him do the feint and I just thought I'd leave him the area and he finishes like he always does. It's a joy to see up close."
The 21-year-old was also asked about Carlo Ancelotti's change of system and how he feels playing in a different position than last season. "I think the coach trusts me to get a feel for positions. I think when it is necessary I can go higher and when I need to I can help with build-up," he claimed.
"Whatever the coach wants from me, I will do. I don't know if I am always going to score goals, I don't know if I am always going to make goals, but hopefully, I will always be involved in helping the team win. That is the most important thing for me."
