Just watched the interview to see what was said - starts at 30:35
He basically said Jude was brilliant and getting him playing at his best is essential if England are to win a World Cup.
He said he loves the fire that he plays with and that he has an edge that is essential to his game - he wouldn't want to reduce that at all but he thinks Jude needs to learn to channel it towards the opponent instead of directing it towards his team mates or the ref. Fair comment really...
He was then asked for his thoughts on the fact that some people say "we're better off without Bellingham."
Tuchel disagreed with that idea but said he could understand how some people don't see the well educated, polite boy who leads from the front and are "repulsed" by some of his outbursts on the pitch giving an example of his mum who wouldn't like aggressive behaviour like that.
It's now been spun into a one liner that says "Thomas Tuchel's mum is repulsed by Jude Bellingham" which is completely disingenuous but it's true to form when it comes to the UK media and the England team.
Thank you for actually investigating. Not sure why the original poster didn’t, but whatever.
