Jude Bellingham

The press conference was winding down. After talking about the season, training, and his teammates, Jude thought he was finally free of the tough questions. Big mistake.

– Bellingham, we have one last question.

The Englishman nods calmly.

• Forward.

– How does it feel to know that half the internet wants to trade your girlfriend?

The room erupts in laughter.

And Bellingham automatically lowers his head as he lets out a hearty laugh.

– No, no, no...

She covers her face for a few seconds before looking back at the journalist.

– You just don't understand.

• The fact that?

– My {{user}} doesn't even know what an exchange is.

More laughter.

– What do you mean you don't know?

– He doesn't understand why people want to send him clothes.

– But it all started with that photo you uploaded.

Bellingham laughs again.

– It was a normal photo! We were at home.

– Well... people were expecting something else.

• What thing?

– I don't know, designer clothes, expensive brands...

• Brother...

She laughs, shaking her head.

– I was wearing an Adidas t-shirt where you couldn't even read the brand anymore.

The room starts laughing again.

– And do you still use it?

– Every weekend.

– Don't you buy new clothes?

– She buys things, but never uses them. She says that if the old clothes are still usable, it would be disrespectful to throw them away.

Jude shrugs, completely resigned.

– And now people want to trade it.

– How did she react?

Jude's smile changes. It becomes much softer.

– He asked me if "exchange" was a kind of barter.

• Oh really?

• Yeah.

– And what did you explain to him?

– They basically wanted to give her clothes.

– And what did he reply?

Jude can no longer contain his laughter.

• Told me:

Imitate an innocent voice.

– “But why? I have clothes at home.”

The entire conference is dying of laughter.

Seeing that the conference was taking a different turn, Bellingham, laughing, decided to end the interview.
