‘Accept it’ – England boss Tuchel sends message to Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham | OneFootball

England national team boss Thomas Tuchel has sent a stern message the way of Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham.

This comes after the latter made clear his frustration with being hooked early from the Three Lions’ latest outing.

England marked their return to action on Sunday evening, making the trip to Albania for a World Cup qualifying clash.

When all was said and done, the visitors emerged on the right side of a 2-0 result, courtesy of a Harry Kane brace.

The aforementioned Bellingham returned to starting duties for the fixture, but was hooked from proceedings during the 2nd-half.

And the former Borussia Dortmund talent could not hide his disappointment with this decision, looking less than amused on his way to the bench.

Speaking to the media post-match, the subject of Bellingham’s reaction was in turn put to manager Thomas Tuchel.

And the German went on to explain:

“I saw that Jude Bellingham was not happy when he came off. I don’t want to make more out of it, but I stick to my words, behaviour is key and respect towards the teammates who come in. Decisions are made and you have to accept it as a player.”
