Bellingham, Rogers, Gibbs-White compete for England playmaker role

Jude Bellingham and Morgan Rogers are two rising stars in England's football scene. They grew up just five miles apart in the Midlands and now both play key roles in the England national team. This season, they might even face each other in the Champions League semi-finals, which would be a significant moment for both players. Bellingham, a former midfielder for Birmingham City, is expected to take on the creative role for England under coach Thomas Tuchel. Rogers, who has also been performing well, is making a name for himself with Aston Villa, especially after learning under coach Unai Emery. Despite their friendship, they have a competitive spirit from their youth days when they went head-to-head on the pitch. Morgan Gibbs-White is another talented midfielder joining Bellingham and Rogers in the England squad. He has progressed from Wolverhampton to Nottingham Forest and is also in the mix for Champions League qualification. Rogers praised Gibbs-White's versatility and leadership on the field. Marcus Rashford, another Midlands player, has recently returned to the England team after moving to Aston Villa. Rogers spoke highly of Rashford's skills and the new energy he brings to the team. Rogers described Tuchel as a coach with a strong presence. He feels that Tuchel brings a unique dynamic to the team, balancing calmness with a serious approach to training and games. This style is new for Rogers, and he is enjoying the experience so far.
