Bellingham was man of the match in England's 2-1 World Cup quarter-final win over Norway in Miami as he saved the side once again in another thrilling performance.
Despite the win, Tuchel called the performance "sloppy" and said that his team had been "lucky".
In response Bellingham stated: "Maybe he doesn't know what it takes to play in those conditions against Erling Haaland, Nusa, Sorloth - that's not an easy team to play against."
Now, speaking with OLBG, Stanton revealed that such comments may lead to something far worse as England prepare to face Argentina on Wednesday night.
“We suddenly saw a lot of anger flash across Bellingham’s face and we saw him thrust his chin forward when answering, which is a show of defiance, confidence and also similar to throwing down a gauntlet to his manager in the context.
“It was easy to read his face. Even people watching at home would have been able to see what it was communicating. The non-verbal message was clear: what is Tuchel talking about?
“The focus on how it was Bellingham and his teammates actually doing the work out there on the pitch was interesting, and something England fans will need to keep an eye on, as there is clearly a tension between Bellingham and Tuchel that risks spilling out into something bigger.
“It was clear in Bellingham’s mind that the team achieved something against Norway, and that they worked hard for the win. On the other hand, Tuchel wasn’t happy with how they went about the game, even if they came away with a win. There are undercurrents to something else going on in the England dressing room with some real animosity beneath the surface.”
Such a divide between England’s best player and the manager is not ideal before the Argentina clash where the Three Lions must be at their very best if they want to progress to the final.
