Responds to Jude Bellingham’s “Crumble” Comments
7/6/202618 min
Rio gathers everyone around the fire pit at his Airbnb after England were victorious in a World Cup Classic in Mexico City.
Jude Bellingham was England’s talisman again and spoke about how his teammates are different to previous generations because they didn’t “crumble” when put under severe pressure by their hosts.
There’s analysis of Bellingham’s maturity and how he has developed his attitude since his last major tournament with England.
Joleon Lescott praises Thomas Tuchel’s “unique ability” to change the game from the bench and the gang discuss how effective the German is at utilising the hydration breaks to improve his team’s performance.
There’s a warning about the way England have defended when they come up against Erling Haaland’s Norway side and analysis of whether Florian Balgoun’s rescinded suspension was “wrong” and how it compares to the treatment of Cristiano Ronaldo pre-tournament.
