Bellingham admits last season was consuming him mentally

England's Jude Bellingham, at Real Madrid, has shown his most personal side in an interview with British Vogue, as Mundo Deportivo reports. He admits that at times last season he felt the pressure was consuming him, leaving him tense and stressed, until he began talking with someone who helped him handle it.

On life in Madrid, he argues that the key to learning Spanish is having the confidence to speak even if you make mistakes. If people understand what you mean, he says, they will appreciate that you are trying. He also stresses the importance of rest: after four matches in 14 days, all he wants when he gets home is to recover enough to go straight to bed.
