Micah Richards wants CBS Sports to be renamed 'the Meeks Show' after brilliant Jude Bellingham interview | The Sun
MICAH RICHARDS has demanded CBS Sports be renamed as "the Meeks show" after a brilliant response from Jude Bellingham.
The Real Madrid star made a quick-witted response as sports pundit Guillem Balague interviewed him over his performance in Tuesday night's Champions League win over Napoli.
CBS presenter Balague caught up with the Man of the Match Bellingham after Real Madrid beat Napoli.
The 20-year-old superstar led his side to a 3-2 victory after making one assist and scoring a goal for the Los Blancos.
In the post-match interview, Balague told Bellingham his style of play reflected the football legends who were currently presenting on CBS, Thierry Henry and Jamie Carragher.
But he left out any reference to the other pundit back in the studio – former England star Micah Richards.

Balague said: "When you were defending at times you look like Jamie Carragher.
"When you were attacking at some times you looked like Thierry Henry.
But quick as a flash Bellingham responded by refering to the TV pundit ignored by Balague.

Richards in the CBS studio with Henry and Carrragher was over the moon with Bellingham's response.
The former Manchester City ace even suggested CBS Sports to rename the show – in tribute to his nickname Big Meeks.
Richards said: "Let's call this the Meeks show. Everyone loves me. Everyone is asking for me."
He then went on to give his prediction of who this year's Balloon d'Or winner should be.
Bellingham is one of 30 nominees up for the prestigious French football award – where the winner will be announced on October 30th.
Richards continued: "Jude where are you? I love you too. You're absolutely fantastic. Balloon d'Or is coming your way."
However, the Real Madrid star is up against seven-time winner Lionel Messi who has been reported as the favourite to win.
