JUDE BELLINGHAM is now off the leash and ripping into England’s rivals having been “caged” in one position.
The Three Lions star, 23, ran riot in Saturday’s 7-0 win in Croatia after being given a licence to roam since the World Cup.
Bellingham hopes to win his 60th cap against the Czech Republic on Tuesday night.
And England No. 2 Anthony Barry revealed: “The structure allows him to play more from intuition, less from being locked down or caged in a certain position.
“It allows him to roam and operate in spaces he thinks can be dangerous.
“It’s brought out the best in him.
“We have moved to a principled-driven approach which allows for more flexibility and fluidity.”
Bellingham’s goal and hat-trick of assists on Saturday took him to 13 goal involvements in his last 11 caps.
And ex-Portugal, Belgium and Bayern Munich coach Barry wants him to keep his aggressive style.
Ahead of Tuesday’s Nations League clash at Wembley, he said: “You used the word ‘anger’, I use the word ‘fire’.

“I certainly wouldn’t want to take that away from Jude.”
“It’s part of his personality on and off the pitch. It’s what makes him world-class. So we wouldn’t want to dilute that fire.
“He’s only 23, so he’s going to evolve. We all expect so much from him.
“But he’s also finding his own way. To be around him, he’s just a pleasure.
“He’s a great kid, so hungry, so ambitious.
“Paul Scholes played six, ten, on the left wing. Jude can play any of those positions at a high level.”
England boss Thomas Tuchel could make some changes against the Czechs, who they beat 2-0 in Prague a week ago.
One option would be to put Morgan Rogers into the starting XI to team up with Real Madrid star Bellingham.
A third straight victory will leave England on the cusp of sealing a Nations League quarter-final spot.
