And we go back to a game that we covered.

Was it Serbia at the start of this season when we were there and England won five?

And you look at the way that they played there, they had a lot of the big names missing in that game.

And I think from that point on, Tuchel made a real point of saying after the game, he said, I've been telling you this for a while.

I've been telling you this is coming.

This has been happening in training.

I've got a faith in this group of players.

That performance I know has been coming.

And then from there, they went on to win eight out of eight qualifiers and not concede a goal.

So listen, you can't argue with the decisions that he's making until they go wrong.

Absolutely, absolutely.

And I think you can look at that and you can encapsulate that in the way that he's treated Jude Bellingham this season.

He left him out of the March friendlies, not necessarily made him an automatic starter.

Jude Bellingham knows that now he's got to fight for his shirt.

He's got to fight for his place, not just in the squad, but in the team.

And I think that grounding that he gave Jude Bellingham

I think he's been quite clever, Thomas Tuchel, because he knows that he needs a player of Jude Bellingham's quality.

But he needs Jude Bellingham at his best, both on and off the field.

And I think he left him out of the squad at times this season.

He's left him out of the side at times this season.
