England have closed the qualifiers in perfect form by winning their 8th match in as many games, with a 2-0 success in Tirana against Albania. But the English will take from this match another problem that seems to have arisen in the group of the "three lions".
Jude Bellingham appeared unhappy when coach Thomas Tuchel decided to take him off the field of play after Harry Kane scored the second goal, bringing on Rodgers in his place.
"I saw he wasn't happy. I have to review it. To some extent, if you have players like Jude who are so competitive, they're never going to like it. But my word is, we're about standards and a level of commitment to each other and respect for each other. So if someone is waiting outside, we're not going to change our decision just because someone is waving their arms.
"I don't want to ask too much of this, but I stick to my words, 'behaviour is key' and respect for teammates who come in. Decisions are made and you have to accept them as a player. This is the decision and he has to accept the decision. His teammate is waiting on the touchline. You have to accept it and respect it and move on. Jude also got a yellow card and we made the decision before the second goal. The decision stands," Tuchel told reporters.
He was later told that Bellingham had not celebrated the goal with his teammates, even though footage shows that he congratulated Kane.
"This leaves a bad impression, first of all, it's your impression, and that's bad because it should be about the collective, and I think what we did in the training session is entirely about the collective. Then I have to review it, because I was very happy about the goal, I had a short chat with Morgan Rodgers and I was sure that everyone would celebrate together, I'll see. But that's not the image we want to convey, because we feel that everyone is committed and everyone accepts even difficult decisions, whether before the match or in the match, it doesn't exclude anyone.
"Morgan Rodgers was probably not happy when he couldn't start today because he deserves to play for us and wants to play all the time. We gave him some rest because he came with a lot of minutes for his club and played against Serbia. Morgan didn't like being out and he didn't deserve to be out either," Tuhel said about the situation created today.
