Bellingham and Tuchel have 'clear-the-air' talks before England vs Argentina

Jude Bellingham and Thomas Tuchel held “clear-the-air” talks after the World Cup flare-up that followed England’s 2-1 win over Norway, with Bellingham having added a brace in the match. Now at Real Madrid after starring for Birmingham City, Bellingham discussed the backdrop as Tuchel addressed it ahead of the Argentina semifinal in Atlanta at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Tuchel told talkSPORT that he spoke to Bellingham and the wider group after the game and later reiterated the message to move on, while also stressing that the comments came from a shared competitive mindset. England captain Harry Kane also weighed in on controversy involving Gabriel Clarke’s interviews, saying it is hard for players to respond to questions asked right after a whistle. England plays Argentina at 8pm Wednesday, and the winner advances to face Spain in the Sunday final.
