If England go on to achieve ultimate success at the World Cup, there is an outside chance Jude Bellingham will think it is despite Thomas Tuchel rather than because of him.
But if England go on to emerge victorious, no-one will care if Bellingham is having Tuchel or not.
From the outside, it is hard to be certain about the nature of their relationship but one thing is for sure. It is not the same as the one Gareth Southgate and Bellingham enjoyed. There was huge respect between those two. Bellingham liked the way Southgate realised there were demands on him that were relatively unusual. Essentially, Southgate believed a big part of his job was to help Bellingham cope with the spotlight that has been on him from a very young age.
Even though we do not know how the pair interact behind closed doors, it is safe to say Tuchel does not think in a similar way to Southgate.
