Thomas Tuchel praises Jude Bellingham’s aggressive playing style

England manager Thomas Tuchel has expressed support for Jude Bellingham’s aggressive playing style, stating that the midfielder performs better when playing with “a little bit of anger.” This follows Bellingham’s intense performance during England’s 2-3 defeat to Spain in a UEFA Nations League match at Wembley, where he was involved in a heated exchange with Real Madrid teammate Marc Cucurella.

Tuchel noted that while Bellingham maintains friendships with teammates, his competitive drive takes precedence during the 90 minutes of play. Looking ahead to the upcoming match against Czechia, Tuchel intends to include Bellingham but remains cautious regarding the player's physical condition. Due to a dense schedule with Real Madrid, the manager emphasized the need to consult with physiotherapists to avoid the risk of extreme fatigue.

Additionally, Tuchel mentioned that Harry Kane is eager to play in the upcoming fixtures, though the manager expressed uncertainty regarding squad rotation given the physical demands on the players.
