The Athletic FC Podcast · Can Bellingham win England the World Cup? · 12 Jul 2026 podcast

There was kind of a vibe of this guy.

Yeah.

in his whatever, whatever.

And there may be some people in our industry that are inclined to make more of that than I am.

I just think it can be positive tension.

They don't have to love each other.

If Tuchel is putting Bellingham in position to succeed when it matters most, if he's giving him the freedom in the final third to do what Bellingham does best and impact games...

then yeah, Bellingham doesn't have to love him.

Tuchel doesn't have to find him the easiest player to deal with.

If it works, it works.

And if England come out of this with a first World Cup since 1966, I don't think anyone's going to be dwelling on the nature of that relationship.

I think John Stones deserved credit there as well.

Everyone in the universe knew that Soloth wanted to pass to Erling Haaland, including John Stones, who positioned himself accordingly.

Well, I think when he came into Chelsea, one of the first things he said was that we want to build a team no one wants to play against.

And he also spoke about the importance of building a positive atmosphere within the group.

And I think those things, that experience of coming in mid-season to Chelsea and just having kind of like a four or five month intense run, maybe was better preparation for this World Cup than anything else he's done in his career.

Because club management, when you're strategizing over a whole season, is a very different thing.

And tactically, at least for the first 12 months he was at Chelsea, he tended to get the starting plan right way more often than not.

It was very rare to see him get something wrong.

And I think he got it right from the start against Norway.
