The commitment is there but we made life very difficult for us in the way we played, how we played.”\u201cSloppy, lot of technical mistakes, not fast enough, not repetitive enough. We were lucky today.” Tuchel said after the match.Tuchel was then asked if the pressure of the occasion had affected his players.He rejected the suggestion, saying: \u201cIt\u2019s not a mentality problem \u2014 this is pure mentality.”\u201cHow can you ask about mentality now? This is pure mentality, you can bottle it up and sell it. It\u2019s the quality of our games. That\u2019s it. It has nothing to do with mentality.\u201dLater, during his own post-match interview with ITV, Bellingham was informed of Tuchel’s comments. The midfielder appeared frustrated, responding with an eye roll and saying, \u201cwhatever.\u201dHe then added: \u201cIt is difficult out there. It was a tough shift.\u201dBellingham also praised his teammates for the effort they put in during the match.Asked about Tuchel’s remarks, the Real Madrid midfielder said: \u201cMaybe he doesn\u2019t know what it takes to play in those conditions against Erling Haaland, Nusa, Sorloth, that\u2019s not an easy team to play against.\u201cI think we have tried to create a positive environment we should continue that into the final four.”\u201cI can\u2019t think highly enough of the lads. You\u2019re not going to win every game popping a thousand passes, sometimes you have to win dirty.\u201d<\/div>\n
