Thomas Tuchel admits his own mother is 'repulsed' by Jude Bellingham's on-field antics as England boss urges Real Madrid star to channel his 'rage and fire' towards opponents

Tuchel admitted Bellingham can be an "intimidating" presence around the England camp and that he may give off a bad impression to onlookers - but also stressed that he is enjoying coaching the midfielder, who he says must "channel his edge".

Speaking to talkSPORT, Tuchel said: "How we can have the best version of him and the best acceptance that people understand what he is bringing to us, and that he is bringing a certain edge? Sometimes you see the rage, you see the hunger and the rage and the fire, and it comes out in a way that can be a bit repulsive, for example for my mother when she sits in front of the TV. In general we are very happy to have him. He is a special boy."

Bellingham was forced to calm down by skipper Harry Kane after seeing a late equaliser against Senegal ruled out on Tuesday. The midfielder was seen kicking a drinks cooler and roaring at the linesman after the match.

Bellingham is now set to fly out to USA to play for Real Madrid at the Club World Cup, with group stage fixtures against Al-Hilal, Pachuca and Red Bull Salzburg coming up.
