Conor Coady has revealed how Jude Bellingham humiliated him in England training, despite it being the Real Madrid star’s first-ever session.
Following his £88m move from Borussia Dortmund to Real Madrid over the summer, Jude Bellingham has developed into one of the world’s best players and is touted by some Football Betting Sites as one of the favourites for this year’s Ballon d’Or.
In 28 appearances across all competitions this campaign the 20-year-old has scored 20 goals and registered 7 assists, becoming Los Blancos main man in the process.
Coady Humiliated By Bellingham In England Training
Former England international Conor Coady has been waxing lyrical about the Birmingham-born star and even revealed how the 20-year-old embarrassed him in training.
Speaking on The Rest Is Football Podcast with host Gary Lineker, Conor Coady was asked about the Real Madrid superstar.
In response, the Leicester City defender said: “The best, the best, honestly.
“I remember I was in his first squad and when he first came in I think he had only made one appearance for the U21s and he came into the senior squad, he was unbelievable.”
Coady added: “I remember his first session and he megged me right. He megged me but he megged me in terms of he shouldn’t have megged me.”

“We play this game with the little goals, so I stand in front of the goal and I said go to another goal, you ain’t scoring here.
“So he has his back to me and as he’s got his back to me, you’ve all probably seen the one where you drag the ball round and as you drag it round you keep it close to your foot and flick it through someone’s legs.
“And he’s done that to me and scored, it was impossible to do and I don’t know how he did it. I turned to the camera and went ‘don’t you dare put that f**king on social media.”
Commenting on Bellingham’s start to life in Madrid, Coady said: “From there, he’s gone on to do what he’s done, we all see what he’s doing at Real Madrid.
“What a person, even better player and just absolutely incredible all round and I think we’re going to build this England team around him aren’t we for the next 10, 15 years which is a real exciting thing to think about.”
