Story summary

At a sold-out Wembley Stadium, England's national team returned from the World Cup with Thomas Tuchel at the helm, facing Spain after England's semi-final loss to Argentina. Tuchel praised midfielder Jude Bellingham, stating that he performs better when playing with "a bit of rage." During a recent match against Spain, Bellingham engaged in a verbal altercation with teammate Marc Cucurella from Real Madrid, an incident Tuchel downplayed as Bellingham’s competitive nature. Despite the controversy, Bellingham was instrumental in England's efforts, forcing a late save by Unai Simón of Spain and being named England's player of the year for consecutive seasons. Tuchel plans to start Bellingham in an upcoming match against Czechia on Tuesday, expecting another strong performance from the midfielder.
