Bellingham: "There are many positives, but also things to improve"

Jude Bellingham delivered a strong performance against Inter and could have scored if it weren't for J. Martínez. At the end of the match, the English midfielder said: “There were moments when we had to suffer against a very good team. They are Italian champions for a reason, and there were moments when we made them suffer, especially on the counterattack, when we moved the ball well. Something similar happened against Betis last weekend, when we failed to convert our chances."

"Today we could have finished the game with a bigger scoreline. We had chances, myself included, but in the Champions League there will be moments of suffering. We only conceded one goal, and the defenders did very well, but great teams find gaps. And there was a fantastic Courtois. Not everything is bad, but there are things to improve. The most important thing is the three points.”

His two chances to score
“I thought I was going to score. On the first chance, the goalkeeper appeared out of nowhere. The ball fell to me, and I thought: 'This is a goal.' But he pulled out an arm from who knows where, and on the second one I got to see the ball a bit late, there were people in the way, I tried to bring it down and struck it quite well. But again, out of nowhere, another great save. It’s frustrating because it would have made life easier for us if I had scored, but it’s part of the game. Another day, those will go in.”

Mourinho
“We know well how he wants his team to play. Today, we saw those values he instills. In both goals, that high pressing. There are many positives, but also things to improve. And that’s normal because there’s a new coach and a new team. I’m enjoying the good and the areas for improvement. There’s work to be done, and that motivates me and makes it fun.”
