England has to help Jude Bellingham more, according to the boss Thomas Tuchel who admitted that the Real Madrid -Superster tried to do too much at the European Championship last summer.
The Drie Lions beat Albania in the debut of the new manager on Friday evening, but Tuchel thought that the performance left something to be desired – and asked to show his team to show more German efficiency.
And when he was asked if Bellingham tried too hard at the euros, Tuchel said: “Yes. He is always ready to give everything, but we have to help him so that he can play more economically within a structure and still have the same impact, or perhaps even more impact.
'We must ensure that the leaders – he is one of the leaders – and the most important players, walk in the same direction and play in the same rhythm and help each other. And maybe play a little more disciplined to save some energy for the decisive moments.
'He is a very emotional player as soon as he is on the field and I think you only see that he hates losing and does everything that is needed. He expresses himself. You see the hunger and the desire to win.
“I think he will keep this hunger and learn to channel the emotions a bit.”
Tuchel and England are organizing Latvia and the former Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich Manager on Monday that his team will take more risks and be more efficient with the ball. Asked if they were not efficient enough, he said: “Absolutely. I am not so sure why we had trouble having more impact on the wing players.
'In general we had difficulty daring to take the risk and understand where the risk could be taken.
'In my opinion we need more discipline in the positions, because when we understand where everyone is, when we have the ball we can pass the ball faster and pass on more decisively and bypass more opponents.
'If we change too many positions as we did in the second half, it slows our game – we don't want that. But it was great to hear the national anthem and to be in charge. It still feels great, I love the group of players – now we will try to squeeze the best out of them.
'Of course the challenge is to prepare for the next two days, 20 players who come from, I don't know, 11 or 12 clubs. I have to deal with football. I am not the most patient man in the world when it comes to it, but I will learn and push the players, it's a good start. '
