Chicharito: Real Madrid pressure helping Bellingham reach potential

Former Real Madrid striker Javier Hernandez admits he's been following Jude Bellingham's success this season.

Chicharito says Bellingham's goalscoring has surprised him.

He told AS: "What surprises me most is that he is scoring so many goals. Nobody expected it to be such a complete playmaker role. The most beautiful thing about being in Madrid is that pressure, which if you use it as an opportunity, then it makes you a better player. At Real Madrid you have to show that you are one of the best players on earth.

"In Madrid you don't lack anything. And if you don't have the personality to see pressure positively, it can suffocate you. In Madrid you don't have to stand out, you have to not clash. And then, you must show that you can shine. Many people there are lost in panic.

"Everything in Madrid is made for you to shine. And Bellingham is like that. Not even he expected to score so many goals, but Madrid gives you an opportunity for evolution that you didn't know existed, because that pressure doesn't exist in any other club."
