England midfielder Jude Bellingham must exhibit greater discipline to ensure he can deliver his best performance when it matters most, according to manager Thomas Tuchel.
The 21-year-old forward has scored 11 goals for Real Madrid this season and has found the back of the net six times in 41 appearances for the England national team.
When questioned about Bellingham’s performance at Euro 2024, Tuchel responded, “Yes, he is always prepared to give his all, but we must assist him in playing more efficiently within a structured framework, allowing him to maintain or potentially increase his impact.” It is essential for leaders, including him, and key players to align their efforts and collaborate effectively. A more disciplined approach could also conserve energy for critical moments ahead.
Tuchel observed that Bellingham consistently sought to be engaged.
“He enjoys engaging in conversation with the referee and the linesmen,” he remarked. “He exhibits a strong emotional presence on the pitch, demonstrating a profound aversion to losing and a relentless drive to do whatever it takes to secure victory…”
