I cannot access external links or browse websites, including the specific Liverpool.com article you've referenced. However, I can provide a summary based on the search results available, which document Jude Bellingham's reaction to Xabi Alonso's departure from Real Madrid. **Jude Bellingham's Response to Xabi Alonso's Dismissal** Jude Bellingham strongly refuted claims that he played a role in Xabi Alonso's exit from Real Madrid[4][5]. After Alonso's departure was announced on Monday following a 3-2 loss to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final, reports circulated suggesting that senior players, including Bellingham, had grown frustrated with the manager's tactical approach and man-management[5]. Bellingham issued a forceful statement through his personal JB5 app, declaring the reports to be "a load of s**t" and criticizing those spreading misinformation[4]. He expressed frustration at having "let far too many of these slide," urging accountability from media sources creating "damaging misinformation for clicks and added controversy"[5]. The English midfielder also initially delayed his public tribute to Alonso, posting a brief farewell message a day after the manager's exit, which drew criticism from some fans who labeled him a "snake" on social media[2]. However, his subsequent strong denial of involvement in any dressing room revolt clarified his position[5]. Alonso's seven-month tenure at Real Madrid ended with a respectable 70.6% win percentage—joint-fifth best in club history—yet internal tensions reportedly involving players such as Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior contributed to his dismissal[3][4]. Other players including Thibaut Courtois, Antonio Rüdiger, and Dani Carvajal had quickly posted farewells to Alonso[3]. Bellingham's furious response underscores the contentious nature of Alonso's departure and the midfielder's desire to distance himself from narratives suggesting player dissatisfaction drove the managerial change[5][6].
