Libero 061 | England's Jude Bellingham Problem

<p>Jude Bellingham is seen as England's biggest star, which is why it's very glaring that Thomas Tuchel has broken with decades of protocol and left the Real Madrid man out of his latest squad. Amid talks of the need for squad harmony and the manager's previous comments about Bellingham "intimidating" teammates, there's clearly more to his absence than fitness. Is Tuchel just laying down the law? Or is there an actual danger of Bellingham missing out on the World Cup? Three men who know a thing or two about giant egos, Jack Pitt-Brooke, Jonathan Wilson and Miguel Delaney, discuss this, England's historical, craven need to pick the big names players at any cost and who is actually the national team's current 'best' player.</p><br><p>P1: (00:14)</p><p>P2: (36:21)</p><br><p>Produced by: Tom Bassam</p><br><p>Email in via <a href="mailto:[email protected]" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">[email protected]</a></p><p>Subscribe to our YouTube channel <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@liberopod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@liberopod</a></p><p>Follow us on X <a href="https://x.com/podcast_libero" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@podcast_libero</a></p><p>Follow us on Bluesky <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/liberopodcast.bsky.social" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@liberopodcast.bsky.social</a></p><p>Follow us on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/liberopod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@liberopod</a></p><p>Follow us on TikTok <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@liberopod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@liberopod</a></p><p>Follow us on Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/liberopod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@liberopod</a></p><br><p>Music: Kid Kodi - Blue Dot Sessions</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
