00:00Jude's got two routes he can go down. It's a route of I'm going to do the minimum
00:04that basically I have to do because I don't trust them, I don't like them.
00:08But what you're then doing, Jude, you're the star, you're the one that, to be fair,
00:12can take it on your shoulders, you're the guy that's absolutely unbelievable,
00:15you're a superstar. You're asking one of your teammates to do it instead of you,
00:18who's not as confident as you, who's not got as much belief as you.
00:21So when I see Jude come out and speak last night, he exudes confidence.
00:25I, as an English fan, broadcaster, think Jude's speaking.
00:31Do you think the opposition players want to hear from Jude Bellingham?
00:34And I'm not going to be disrespectful.
00:35Or do you think they want to hear from, say, Elliot Anderson or John Stones?
00:40If you've seen Jude today and you're the sort of Ghana players
00:44or you're the players who are playing England down the line,
00:46Jude's speaking, he's standing up, Declan Rice is speaking, Harry Kane is speaking.
00:50It sends a message, not only to your own dressing room,
00:52that I've got the belief, I'll take the responsibility.
00:54It sends a message to the other players in the other team that says,
00:58the belief he's got, the confidence, not just on the pitch,
01:00but I believe it sends a massive message.
01:03We don't know the reasons why it weren't happening before.
01:05You know what I mean?
01:05We don't know the ins and outs of why it weren't happening before.
01:07But obviously something's happened under Tuchel where he's now ready to be out.
01:12Because remember, when we done the friendlies,
01:14when we done the friendly against New Zealand,
01:17him and Harry done it with Gabe.
01:20So it's something that's been addressed.
01:23He's up for it.
01:24He's ready to go.
01:25And now in our first game, front and centre.
01:28But Ian, look, if Roy Keane's the best player at Manchester United,
01:32which for many years he was,
01:34and he's the captain,
01:35he's got to stand up in the tournaments,
01:39in the big matches, which obviously he did.
01:40He said, you can't push that responsibility onto players who, to be fair,
01:46will just go in there, do the job.
01:48Yeah, but Gabe, we don't know what the reasons were before.
01:50No, I'm just saying, I just think last night, for me,
01:52hearing him speak, I said to you before he came,
01:54I said, I hope Jude speaks.
01:55Yes, he did, yes.
01:56Before he even came out, I said, I hope Jude speaks.
01:58This is a moment for Jude to speak.
02:00Yeah, and he did.
02:01Good.
