World Cup 2026: All players put in tough shift – Bellingham unimpressed with Tuchel’s comments

England midfielder, Jude Bellingham, appeared to be unimpressed by manager, Thomas Tuchel’s harsh assessment of the Three Lions’ display against Norway in the World Cup quarter-final on Saturday.

England defeated Norway 2-1 to progress to the semi-final, thanks to Bellingham’s brace.

After the game, Tuchel criticized his players at his post-match interview, telling ITV Sport that they made ‘tactical mistakes and he was not happy’ with their display.

Responding to Tuchel’s comments, Bellingham insisted at his post-match interview that he and his teammates put in a tough shift.

“Yeah, well… whatever. Whatever. It’s difficult out there. It’s a tough shift,” Bellingham said.

“All the players are putting in a tough shift. So my thoughts and appreciation go to the players who put in a good shift out there.”
