Bellingham s first reward! Arnold: Belling is my brother, and he convinced me to go to Real Madrid to play football!

In the locker room of the England national team, Arnold's friendship with Bellingham has long become a good story. Bellingham once recalled: When I first played for the English adult team, Arnold took the initiative to help me organize the leg guards, and this detail made me feel the warmth of home. In the 2024 European Cup, Arnold assisted Bellingham to head the ball in a key match against the Netherlands. After the game, Bellingham posted photos of the two hugging on social media, with the caption: Brother, you are the beacon of my career.

This friendship evolved into a legend of the Bernabeu in the summer of 2025. Bellingham has had video calls with Arnold every week for three consecutive months, talking about Real Madrid's Champions League glory to Madrid's artistic atmosphere, from the quality of the turf at Bernabeu to the food culture of Spain. Arnold said: Belin even sent me a panoramic photo under the starry sky of the Bernabeu, telling me that this is what the Football Temple should look like.

Arnold said: You know, Bellingham is my brother, and his sharing makes me yearn for Real Madrid. And I know Mbappe, and I think that the three of us can produce a good chemistry. After many days and nights of thinking, I decided to bring my talent to Madrid.

From a tactical perspective, Arnold's joining is undoubtedly a bonus for Real Madrid. His good at playing styles of the edge and middle are highly consistent with Real Madrid's offensive ideas. At the right back position, Arnold has excellent passing skills and offensive awareness, and can open offensive channels for the team on the right and create more scoring opportunities for forward players.

, and Bellingham's core role in Real Madrid's midfield is becoming increasingly prominent. He has excellent offense and defense. He can not only organize series and shoot forward on the offensive end, but also actively fight and intercept and steal on the defensive end. The combination of Arnold, Bellingham and Mbappe can become a nightmare for the opponent's defense with its amazing speed and super-finishing ability.

For Arnold personally, joining Real Madrid is also a new challenge and opportunity. Leaving the familiar Liverpool and coming to the more competitive La Liga arena, he needs to adapt to the new tactical system and game rhythm as soon as possible. But with his strength and potential, as well as his deep friendship and tacit understanding with Bellingham, I believe he can quickly integrate into the team.
