Jude Bellingham insists that the Real Madrid players are behind Xabi Alonso.
Pressure on the Los Blancos boss increased further after Real were beaten 2-1 at home by Manchester City in the Champions League on Wednesday (10.12.25) but the midfielder has insisted that “no one’s downing tools” at the club despite poor recent results.
Speaking to TNT Sports, Bellingham said: “The manager’s been great. I personally have a great relationship with him, a lot of the lads do as well.
“After the first run of games we had some really great conversations internally and we felt we were on the back side of that form.
“In the past couple of games we let ourselves down again. No one’s downing tools, no one’s complaining and moaning thinking the season is over.”
Real have struggled for wins over the past month and Bellingham believes that “a number of things” are behind the team’s loss of form.
The England midfielder said: “Probably a number of things. We’re still trying to work it out within the changing room.
“What goes on outside, we know that kind of noise won’t be helpful, so it’s about us trying to figure it out inside the dressing room.
“One of the things that’s obvious is how we’re managing games. Certain games we have to suffer and it feels like we always concede. It puts us on the back foot and makes us maybe play in a way we don’t want to.
“As a player inside the changing room, seeing what we’ve got in there, working with the coach every day, we have everything we need to turn it around.
“It’s just about maybe a bit of luck, maybe something we need to discuss internally. But I’ve got full faith that this season isn’t over just because we’ve been on a bad run of form.
“Obviously as players it kills us and we’re going to try everything to turn it around.”
