Richard Keys Slams Jude Bellingham, Claims He Regularly Breaks Sock Rule in Spain
Jude Bellingham’s meteoric rise to stardom at Real Madrid has been nothing short of remarkable. The 21-year-old midfielder has already won a La Liga and Champions League double, scoring 23 goals and assisting 13 more in 42 games. However, his struggles at Euro 2024 have raised questions about his confidence and arrogance.
Bellingham’s media interviews during the tournament sparked controversy, with many fans and pundits feeling that he came across as arrogant. Now, beIN Sports anchor Richard Keys has weighed in, claiming that Bellingham regularly breaks a rule he should be following in Spain.
The Sock Saga
Keys took to X to share his thoughts, referencing the modern trend of players cutting holes in the backs of their socks to ease pressure on their calves and reduce the risk of cramping and muscle injuries. While this practice is banned in La Liga, officials tend to turn a blind eye to socks.
Keys claimed that Bellingham "arrogantly does what he likes" and breaks the rule, while other players, including Conor Gallagher and Kyle Walker, also regularly cut their socks. The pundit questioned why Bellingham thinks he’s above the rules.
The Numbers Game
Bellingham’s stats are impressive, but his struggles at Euro 2024 raise questions about his consistency. In 42 games for Real Madrid, he scored 23 goals and assisted 13 more, but for England, he managed just 1 goal and 1 assist in 4 games.
The Verdict
While opinions about Bellingham’s arrogance are divided, Keys’ comments have sparked a heated debate. It’s clear that the midfielder has a strong personality, but does he really think he’s above the rules?
