“A bit of punch back at their manager“ - Gary Neville backs Jude Bellingham’s hit back at Thomas Tuchel after FIFA World Cup win

× England legend Gary Nevile has backed Jude Bellingham's comments after England's win over Norway at the FIFA World Cup. He believes that it is the right thing to say, after Thomas Tuchel said their performance was not good enough. Ad Speaking on Sky Sports (via Daily Mail), Neville said he is not a big fan of player interviews after matches, but he loved Bellingham's comments.

He added the Englishman has done well at the FIFA World Cup and knew that he was not going to be dropped by Tuchel. He added that the punch back at the manager was not disrespectful, and the Real Madrid star was among those who can do it. He said: Ad Trending "I really liked it.

I’m not a great believer in players not doing interviews, particularly when you’re the best players in the team. If you’re the star player, the guy that is going to win us games, I think you’re the guy who has to go and speak. Jude Bellingham in every single game at this tournament has spoken - even after the Ghana draw when it wasn’t a great performance and there was a bit of criticism flying around."

Ad "There are only a number of players that can make interviews like that, with a bit of punch back at their manager and he is one of them. Being a superstar isn’t just about delivering on the pitch. I think that interview is someone completely and utterly comfortable, confident, safe in his own personality and character."

Ad Neville went on to add that Bellingham has been in the form of his life and is ready to do whatever it takes to be successful. He said: "What I liked wasn’t just the words that came out of his mouth, but it was the look in his eyes. You see the look of someone who is fierce and determined to succeed.

He’s 23 years of age, it’s absolutely monumental what that lad is doing. The impact that he is having on young people in our country and around the world is magnificent. I think there may be a little bit made of the Tuchel/Bellingham stuff - that’s obviously something that has been going on for 12 months.

But Tuchel ain’t dropping him." Ad Jude Bellingham scored a brace as England went on to beat Norway. He also scored a brace in the 3-2 win over Mexico in the Round of 16.
