'It’s something you’ll see probably 10 times a game nowadays, and I can’t believe it.'
Newcastle United defender Trippier started the Three Lions’ opening two World Cup matches as Gareth Southgate’s side beat Iran 6-2 and were held to a goalless draw against the USA.
Former France and Chelsea defender Leboeuf is becoming disillusioned with the “lack of physicality in the game” and used Trippier as an example. “A player would step on your foot, for sure, and you’d say, ‘Wow, okay, that hurts’. But you’d get on with it and maybe do it back to him next time. Jude Bellingham, who has been one of England’s standout performers at the World Cup, can’t wait to show the “dog” in him when they face France on Saturday.“The way I was raised in football, you had to have that dog in you a little bit and I go into the games knowing every game’s a war and you’ve got to be up for it. I think that’s something I have.
