Africa-Press – Eritrea. England is buzzing after Thomas Tuchel’s candid remarks about Jude Bellingham’s behavior during a friendly loss to Senegal (1-3). The Real Madrid midfielder, known for his fire and intensity, was seen confronting referees and venting frustration after his disallowed equalizer.
Tuchel, in an interview with TalkSports, praised Bellingham’s passion but also warned of his intimidating presence, even among teammates. While the coach emphasized the player’s intelligence and openness, he admitted that such intensity could be divisive if not properly channeled.
Across the Channel, these comments are stirring debate. The Daily Mail called Tuchel’s approach risky, suggesting it might not sit well with Bellingham’s camp, known for its protectiveness. The timing is also sensitive, with England preparing its squad for the 2026 World Cup.
Past outbursts from Bellingham, like his profanity toward a referee last year, are being revisited, raising concerns about his temperament. While many acknowledge that legends like Rooney and Beckham had similar tempers, the tension between Tuchel and one of England’s brightest stars could cast a shadow on team unity moving forward.
