Gareth Bale did the same thing that Jude Bellingham is doing at Real Madrid: he tore holes in the back of his socks, which is against the rules of La Liga.
Many people think that the England star will win the Ballon d’Or at the end of 2024. He has been cutting the holes around his calves because he thinks it will make him less likely to get hurt. A lot of players think that the socks are too tight and that the pressure makes it more likely that they will hurt their muscles.
Bale, who is Welsh, would also change his socks for the same reason. This is because demanding Real Madrid fans did not like him as much while he was there.
Bellingham is also taking off the part of the club socks that go around the foot and wearing personalized technical socks that go up to the ankle instead.
Liga rules sаy that players can’t wear torn gear, and if they do, it has to be changed during the game. Also, things like technical socks have to be the same color, and some players cover them with tape that does the same color.
More and more fans are paying attention and want to know why people like Bellingham have been playing with holes. The league suits aren’t paying attention to Bellingham’s choice yet, which makes sense since he is the biggest star in Spanish football.
The young star from Birmingham City has scored 17 goals in 21 games for Carlo Ancelotti’s team, including an amazing hat trιck in the first Clasico of the season.
A lot of Premier League players are also ripping their socks, like Conor Gallagher, a midfielder for Chelsea and England.
Bellingham, meanwhile, has, as expected, set some very high goals for himself for the coming year. “For 2024, I ask for many titles and goals, and to help the team win the game,” he told Real’s news team.
“Have fun playing for Real Madrid.” Working at Real Madrid takes a certain level of skill and mindset, and I consider it an honor to be in charge of this team. I work hard every day to be the best. When you go to Real Madrid, you want to win everything.
Tomorrow night, Real Madrid plays Mallorca again, and they want to get ahead of surprise gifts Girona, who they are currently ahead of on goal difference. In the round of 16 of the Champions League, they will play RB Leipzig.
