Tuchel criticized Bellingham: It s a bit floating, the court discipline is too poor

England coach Tuchel has always been known for being outspoken. Recently, when talking about Bellingham, he has made fierce criticisms about his performance at Real Madrid this season and his attitude towards stadium officials and teammates.

Bellingham's stadium discipline has become a long-standing problem. In the past season, due to the suspension, he missed four of his five games at a critical stage of the season. A total of 11 yellow cards were presented and two red cards were received, and he was sent off twice for objection.

In response, Tuchel recently admitted in an interview with the media that Bellingham's behavior is sometimes untolerable.

"I have a complicated mood about it. I see this from my parents, from my mom, who sometimes doesn't see the kind, well-educated, well-behaved guy I see."

"If he smiles, he wins everyone. Yet you always see him in anger... in a somewhat annoying way, like my mom was sitting in front of the TV."

Tuhull admits that Bellingham's doing this may have a positive impact on the game, but the negative impact on his teammates is even more.

At the same time, controversy over which position Bellingham will play next season is rampant. New head coach Alonso said England's midfielder could play further back, but Tuchel still believes he should play closer to the striker.

"From the outside, I've thought he could be No. 6 or No. 8 for years, but he had a wonderful season when he played like a pseudo-9 in Real Madrid, constantly scoring goals and getting more involved in the offense."

"I can still see this desire. It's a good thing that he has to show up on the scoreboard and let his name appear there. I think now he's more like No. 8 or No. 10, not No. 6 or No. 8, maybe No. 10."
