As Thomas Tuchel prepares his England side for a World Cup next summer, one question remains over one of his biggest stars..

00:00The Jude Bellingham-England conundrum isn't where can he play, it's where can't he play.
00:06Jude is one of the most well-rounded footballers on the planet.
00:09This season he's played off the right for Madrid in a historic El Clasico performance.
00:13He played as a false nine for Los Blancos in the best season of his career.
00:17He made his name as a box-to-box midfielder in Dortmund and is mainly used as a number 10
00:22for England. So where should he play for his country as we approach the World Cup next year?
00:26There is a difference between making a player do everything and letting a player do anything.
00:32Bellingham is a unique breed in that by giving him freedom he will not shirk responsibilities
00:37he doesn't want because he wants all of them. He is a match winner. He has and will single-handedly
00:42win games for his club and his country. Despite his remarkable all-round ability Jude is at his
00:47best in the number 10 with freedom to roam around the pitch. This is a dual winner, a chance creator
00:52and a goal scorer all in one. By having him just off the striker you exploit his greatest strengths
00:58all at once. It is pivotal that Tuchel doesn't allow Bellingham's greatest strength to be his downfall.
