Morgan Rodgers&#8217; form, combined with the impression that Thomas Tuchel was not a big fan of the Real Madrid star, leaves a question mark over his importance. Last year, the German manager publicly apologized for calling Bellingham &#8220;disgusting&#8221;.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bellingham_calls_Ancelotti_to_win_back_Tuchels_trust\"><\/span>Bellingham calls Ancelotti to win back Tuchel&#8217;s trust<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jude Bellingham and Thomas Tuchel (Photo by Richard Pelham, Stacy Revere\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Bellingham seems to have realized last year that he was not in Tuchel&#8217;s good books and decided to be proactive. Diario AS revealed that Bellingham called former Real Madrid manager and current Brazil national team manager Carlo Ancelotti to ask for advice on the matter. Bellingham wanted to hear Ancelotti&#8217;s opinion because of his experience in the game and his relationship with Thomas Tuchel. Whatever Ancelotti said, it seems to have paid off.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bellinghams_best_form_was_during_Ancelottis_time_as_manager\"><\/span>Bellingham&#8217;s best form was during Ancelotti&#8217;s time as manager.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jude Bellingham plays for Real Madrid (Photo by Denis Doyle\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Ancelotti was the manager who led the change in position at Real Madrid, deciding to use him out of the front rather than as the typical central midfielder he had played for Borussia Dortmund. Bellingham has struggled to regain his form after dealing with a shoulder injury and a dysfunctional team around him, but against Croatia he showed some flashes of brilliance from a player who had 23 goals and 12 assists in his first season.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jude Bellingham celebrates the score between England and Croatia (Photo by Francois Nel\/Getty Images) England made a strong start to the World Cup this week, defeating Croatia in their first match with a convincing 4-2 win.
