Tuchel speaks on Jobe Bellingham

Tuchel praised Jobe Bellingham's development at Borussia Dortmund, drawing parallels to his brother Jude's path abroad before earning his first England senior call-up.

England manager Thomas Tuchel spoke on Wednesday about Jobe Bellingham's first senior call-up, noting that the midfielder has followed a similar trajectory to his brother Jude by moving abroad to develop his game. Tuchel highlighted Borussia Dortmund as an ideal environment for progression, citing the pressure and quality at the club.

"There are many different ways to reach the top," Tuchel said in his press conference. "Jobe has followed a similar path to Jude and went abroad to develop his football at a club like Borussia Dortmund where there is a lot of pressure. It's a great place to evolve."

Tuchel, who previously managed Dortmund before succeeding Jürgen Klopp, praised Bellingham's captaincy of England's U21 side and his performances in the Bundesliga. England face Croatia on Thursday and Spain on Sunday in UEFA Nations League Group A3.
