Bellingham has contributed two goals and two assists in three games, with Mourinho praising him as an "absolutely incredible player" after Sunday's 4-0 win over Málaga. The England star has a new role in Mourinho's team where he can move further up and drop deep if needed, which he says gives him the "freedom" to play. "Now I'm a bit more free, with the freedom to move further up, and drop deep if we need it," Bellingham told Real Madrid TV.
Bellingham has been in impressive form, scoring in Madrid's 2-1 win at Espanyol in their first game of the season, and then creating two goals in their 4-1 midweek victory over Real Sociedad. He received an ovation from the Bernabéu crowd when he was substituted in the 87th minute, and Mourinho has praised the chemistry between Bellingham, Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior on the pitch.
The next step for Bellingham and Real Madrid will be their Champions League opener against Inter Milan, where they will look to build on their strong start to the season.
