England manager Thomas Tuchel has used a 'stick more than carrot' approach to Jude Bellingham for 18 months, aiming to make him an even better player. Tuchel rarely praises Bellingham's ability, instead focusing on his selfless team play and hard work without the ball. The 'battle of wills' between the two passionate sportsmen is seen as healthy for England's World Cup chances.
