I saw a video recently online, a mimicking video of Bellingham showing how he scores most of his goals in Real Madrid. I just smiled and assume it is just normal hatred from opponent fans. I think it doesn’t matter how he scores the goal, what matters is him getting to score the goal and hovering victory to his team. If he was never in all those positions to kick the ball inside the net no matter how he scores the goal, the accolades won’t be on him now but in the person that scores those goal. He is a midfielder that no one expected to be scoring goals this much and has to be on his debut season. It is just so fascinating and I respect him for that, Real Madrid have really gotten a long term player to enjoy in that midfield.
Real Madrid have an attacking model of play, and Bellingham is an attacking midfielder, he is very often in a good position from which to score and he does it well. Perhaps in some other teams it would be more difficult for him to do this so well, but in Real Madrid he has excellent support, this is also very important. Moreover, he had to be more in attack when Vinicius was absent, although it seems that his presence does not prevent him from scoring goals at all.
I never considered Vinicius to be a top striker. So far he is an average striker. Vinicius does not have the ability to score a lot. He has played in 6 matches this season in La Liga with Madrid, scoring just two goals. He scored just 10 goals in 33 games last season. A team like Madrid needs a more experienced striker than Vini.
Bellingham scored 8 goals in 8 games. Bellingham's presence was quite visible in every match. Madrid's overall performance is very stable as a result of consistently outperforming Bellingham. And the team is slowly becoming dependent on Bellingham's performance. However, if Kross, Modric and Bellingham can maintain their consistency, Real Madrid will be able to retain the top spot in the table.
