Jude Bellingham behaviour ‘repulses my mum’ slams Thomas Tuchel after England rage
Thomas Tuchel has been left repulsed by Jude Bellingham’s behaviour after England’s 3-1 embarrassment at the hands of Senegal on Tuesday evening
Thomas Tuchel has slammed Jude Bellingham and told him his aggressive behaviour leaves his mum repulsed.
The astonishing claim comes in the wake of Bellingham losing his temper at the final whistle of England’s shock 3-1 defeat to Senegal. The Real Madrid ace kicked a water cooler in anger, after being denied a late goal at the City Ground.
Tuchel has told Bellingham to keep that fire in his belly because it makes him a special player. But the German admits his mum, Gabriele Tuchel, is not a fan of Bellingham when his antics go too far, which he claims includes intimidating his own team-mates.
Tuchel said: “I think he brings an edge, which we welcome and which is needed if we want to achieve big things.
“The edge needs to be channelled toward the opponent, towards our goal and not to intimidate team-mates, or to be over aggressive to team-mates or referees.
“He has the fire. I don’t want to dim this down. He should play with this kind of fire, that’s his strength.
“But the fire comes also with some attributes that can intimidate you, maybe even as a team-mate.
“You see sometimes the explosion towards referees, and the anger in his game.

“I see that it can create mixed emotions. I see this with my parents, with my mum, that she sometimes cannot see the nice and well-educated and well-behaved guy that I see.
“Sometimes you see the hunger, the rage and the fire, and it comes out in a way that can be a bit repulsive, for example, for my mother, when she sits in front of the TV.
“I see that, but in general we are very happy to have him. He is a special boy.”
