Bellingham’s unimpressed expression when the hairstylist didn’t do it the way he wanted

“Then I had to tell Vinicius to call him and he picked up immediately,” the Italian strategist revealed about the difficulty in contacting Bellingham. “Vinicius gave me the phone and thanks to that I was able to talk to Bellingham.”

Coach Ancelotti also warned Bellingham to be “careful” with him before returning to the Real team, in a half-joking, half-serious tone.

The England international is one of six Real Madrid mainstays who have not returned to training with the club since the end of Euro 2024. “Los Blancos” have many squad problems, with just over a week left to prepare before the European Super Cup match against Atalanta on August 14.

In addition to the stars of the Spanish and English national teams participating in the Euro 2024 final who have not returned to training, Real also said goodbye to two pillars Toni Kroos and Nacho.

The return of Vinicius Junior has helped coach Ancelotti reduce his headache. The Real captain also praised Vinicius’ ability to maintain his form during the recent break.

He hopes that other stars such as Bellingham, Mbappe or Carvajal will also maintain good condition to prepare for the long 2024/25 season.
