Bellingham's innate leadership qualities shone through, evident in his performance against Almeria. This was underscored by a specific incident that unfolded at the Power Horse Stadium that evening.

In the Saturday match, Vini Jr. approached the referee, urging him to caution a player from Almeria due to his aggressive challenge. As it's widely acknowledged, the Brazilian player has had some difficulties when it comes to interacting with referees.

Observing his teammate's plea for the yellow card, Bellingham was spotted in a video stepping in and pacifying Vini's emotions.

Using a hand gesture towards his head, he encouraged Vini to concentrate on the game at hand.

The Englishman made 132 appearances for the Bundesliga side, scoring 24 goals and assisting in a further 25, but Kehl said the statement was likely not meant as a dig at Bellingham's former team or his time with them.
