  Real Madrid star Brahim Diaz has revealed that he has copied England international Jude Bellingham by cutting holes in his socks.<\/p>\n

  The Spaniard returned to Real Madrid in the summer after spending three years on loan at AC Milan.<\/p>\n

  Upon his return, Bellingham joined Los Blancos from Borussia Dortmund and it appears the pair have struck up a friendship, with Diaz speaking English dating back to his time at Man City.<\/p>\n

  Diaz has since revealed that he has taken inspiration from his new team-mate as he has copied Bellingham by cutting holes in his socks.<\/p>\n

  The phenomena has been seen across Europe, with several English players such as Bukayo Saka and Conor Gallagher also choosing to cut up their socks.<\/p>\n

  Speaking to Madrid news outlet\u00a0Defensacentral.com, Diaz revealed his reasoning for copying Bellingham.<\/p>\n

  ‘My calves had gone up in the last few matches and I didn’t know why,’ he revealed.<\/p>\n

  ‘Bellingham runs for 90 minutes and he’s fine, so I said I have to do something.’<\/p>\n

  He continued to joke that he is hoping that the decision doesn’t backfire and cause him to pick up another injury this season.<\/p>\n

  \u00a0‘Let’s hope they don’t blow up again now that I go up the stairs!’ he joked.<\/p>\n

  Fans had picked up on Bellingham’s decision to cut up his socks dating back to his time in Germany.\u00a0<\/p>\n

  The reason that players cut the\u00a0back of socks is to relieve tension and prevent pain in their calves.<\/p>\n

  Tight socks can result in injuries and cutting holes is these has become a common solution for many players across football.<\/p>\n

  Diaz will be hoping that copying Bellingham in this way can lead to him replicating the form of his team-mate, who has been on fire in Madrid so far this season.<\/p>\n

  He has already broken the Real Madrid goalscoring record set by Cristiano Ronaldo, scoring 14 already this season.<\/p>\n
