“The biggest part of leadership is that you lead by example with your performance…” — Jude Bellingham

At the World Cup and at national team camps it's hard. Everyone wanted me to go back home and play for their team.

I'd always been aware of the interest from England so that was pretty normal. It was a bit of a surprise when my dad sat me down and said: 'You've had a bit of interest from Real Madrid.'

My mom, my dad are two huge role models of mine because of the way they've obviously carried themselves, the things that they've had to face in their own journeys.

I'm never too interested in what people say because, honestly, people's opinions change like the weather. One minute you're the best, the next you're not ready.
