But in the best scenarios, like the players will do it themselves.
So I'd like to think that Bellingham has been in that locker room or dressing room and said it a few times when things haven't been good enough and he's mentioned people directly because I think at some point you do need to have that clash as such because otherwise you can't really move forward because as soon as people start moving different directions, I think your time's up.
That's a good question, you know.
That's a very, very good question.
You know, they're not performing to their absolute maximum defensively, for example, to where you can say, well, that's all he can give us.
I think there's always the element to be able to work harder because some guys like, you know, I had a manager who once told me, you know, some people when they go into attack, it's like they're sprinting downhill.
But in defense, it's like they're running back up that hill carrying extra weight.
You know, you can have the desire to try and do both things.
And yes, say defending isn't, say, the perfect skill for a lot of the attackers at Real Madrid and elsewhere around the league.
But you do the best that you can.
And I think if they get it right from the front, it's easy to get it right behind.
It's easy to get it right at the back and it's easy for the goalkeeper.
But for when other people aren't necessarily pulling their weight, then you end up being in this position whereby it's like one game on, one game off.
Because when it clicks, as we saw with PSG all those years ago, it looks amazing.
But then when it doesn't click, teams can have so much joy against you.
I think Real Madrid conceding four the other day kind of sums that up.
