England midfielder Jude Bellingham has been called on to rein in his boundless energy and focus on discipline to ensure he delivers when it matters most, according to manager Thomas Tuchel.

The 21-year-old sensation has enjoyed a standout season at Real Madrid, scoring 11 goals, while also continuing to be a key figure in Gareth Southgate's England squad with six goals in 41 caps. Bellingham played a crucial role in England's 2-0 win over Albania on Friday at Wembley, providing the assist for Myles Lewis-Skelly's opening goal.

A driving force in England's run to the Euro 2024 final in Germany — where they narrowly lost to Spain — Bellingham has shown flashes of brilliance on the biggest stage. However, Tuchel believes the midfielder may be trying to do too much.

"Yes, he is always ready to give everything," Tuchel said when asked about Bellingham's performances. "But we need to help him so that within a structure he can play more economically and still have the same impact, or maybe even more impact."

Tuchel emphasized the importance of unity and composure among the team's leaders, stressing that Bellingham, as one of the core figures, must align with the overall rhythm and direction.

"We need to make sure that the leaders — and he is one of them — walk in the same direction and play in the same rhythm and help each other out. And play a little more disciplined maybe, to save some energy for the decisive moments."

Bellingham's passion and involvement are never in question. According to Tuchel, the young star's emotional engagement is both a strength and something to manage.

"He loves to talk to the referee and the linesmen," Tuchel noted with a smile. "He's a very emotional player once he's on the pitch and you just see that he hates to lose and does everything that it takes."

As England eyes glory at Euro 2024, Bellingham's fiery drive and sheer talent remain crucial. But if Tuchel's words are any guide, a touch of restraint might help him shine even brighter when it matters most.
