Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham remarked on Wednesday night that he felt like rthe referees tried to set an example with him because he is a recent arrival to the League, after his first term in Spain. Bellingham was shown a red for dissent against Valencia on Saturday night.
Bellingham so far has 5 yellow cards in 22 games, in addition to his red card, a couple of which were also for dissent. According to Brand, The referees talked about Bellingham among themselves, and some considered that their complaints were out of order, and that the frequency and intensity of their complaints did not allow the game to be refereed normally. In the words of the report, “they have their number.”
The 20-year-old star has become increasingly frustrated in recent months, feeling that he is not getting the decisions he deserves, but that has been the case for most of the Real Madrid squad. That said, Bellingham tends to lead the complaints, and was lucky to avoid a second yellow against Granada in December for repeatedly telling the referee to “f*** off”, which the official appeared to ignore.
