Tuchel admits Bellingham can intimidate teammates and leave his mum a bit repulsed
England coach wants midfielder to channel ‘fire’ correctly
Tuchel praises Bellingham’s talent and intelligence
Thomas Tuchel has told Jude Bellingham to concentrate on intimidating the opposition rather than his England teammates as he opened up on what it was like to manage one of the game’s “special” talents.
The England head coach talked about Bellingham’s “edge”, which can make him erupt during matches – even at colleagues – and come across in a way that “can be a bit repulsive”. Tuchel admitted his mother sometimes had “mixed emotions” when watching Bellingham play.
