Thomas Tuchel<\/a> appeared to take a swipe at Jude Bellingham<\/a> when praising the attitude of his England team – and insists he will be brave enough to leave out star names.<\/p>\n

The German enjoyed his best night yet as Three Lions boss during Tuesday\u2019s 5-0 win in Serbia, achieved without the likes of Bellingham, Phil Foden<\/a>, Bukayo Saka<\/a> and Cole Palmer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But it was the togetherness of his players that pleased Tuchel most. He has previously stated that Bellingham can \u2018intimidate\u2019 his team-mates and it felt like he had the Real Madrid<\/a> star in mind when he said: \u2018There was no attitude after a mistake, there was no frustration, there was no waving, there was no eyeballing, there was no bad words. It was just a team ready to work and put 90 minutes effort in.<\/p>\n

\u2018This is a team sport. They have the quality to play for us and the hunger to play for their country and everyone gets his chance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘If a big player misses out on a tournament, we need to have solutions.\u00a0If he misses a camp, we need to have solutions. We have to focus on the guys who are available and who are ready to be the best versions of themselves and the best team-mate possible, and this is what we did.\u2019<\/p>\n

He added: \u2018The teamwork, the effort we put in to help each other out, the intensity. We never stopped running. We didn\u2019t concede a shot on target. We didn\u2019t allow any big chances. We need to do the little things right. I felt that the team was ready and I am just very happy that they proved it.\u2019<\/p>\n

\"Thomas <\/p>\n

Thomas Tuchel took what appeared to be a thinly-veiled swipe at Jude Bellingham after his side’s 0-5 thrashing of Serbia<\/p>\n

\"Noni <\/p>\n

Noni Madueke, Harry Kane, Ezri Konsa, Marc Guehi and Marcus Rashford scored the goals in Belgrade<\/p>\n

\"England's <\/p>\n

England’s German boss has admitted that he won’t be scared to leave big names out of his side<\/p>\n

With Morgan Rogers stepping up in the absence of the injured Bellingham and Noni Madueke also shining in place of sidelined club-mate Saka, Tuchel knows he has some big decisions to make going forward. Is ready to leave out the big names?<\/p>\n

\u2018I am always brave. You know that,\u2019 he said. \u2018But I don\u2019t talk now about hypothetical names that can be left out. Let\u2019s see who\u2019s fit and available. I think we took some brave decisions already. We nominated a squad of only 21 to keep the competition going.<\/p>\n

\u2018The competition is on. If you are in camp, you are in your best behaviour, your best shape, best form and you make the best of it. It\u2019s a privilege to be in camp and then fight for your place. If you can help everyone to be better and to grow and this is what we did.\u2019<\/p>\n
