Thomas Tuchel critical of England's performance, describing the result as "lucky"
Bellingham hits back at England manager, saying: "Maybe he doesn't know what it's like to play in those conditions".
Thomas Tuchel's declaration that England "need to play better" was perhaps not the critique that matchwinner Jude Bellingham wanted to hear at full-time.
The Real Madrid number 10 had just put in a lung-busting display, along with his team-mates, in a match played over 120 minutes in scorching temperatures and unbearably humid conditions, to help drag England into the semi-finals of the World Cup.
That exhausting effort came less than seven days after the same England players, down to 10 men, put in a backs-to-the-wall performance to beat Mexico in their Azteca fortress in the last 16.
Tuchel's words - that England won with "pure mentality" but "need to play better" - were met with a shrug of the shoulders from Bellingham.
"Yeah well, whatever," he said in his post-match interview on the Miami pitch.
"It's difficult out there, it's a tough shift. All the players have put in a tough shift. My thoughts and appreciation goes to the players out there who put in a great shift."
Bellingham added: "Maybe he [Tuchel] doesn't know what it's like to play in those conditions against Erling Haaland, Martin Odegaard, Antonio Nusa and Alexander Sorloth.
"They're not an easy team to play against. I can't speak highly enough of the lads.
"You can't win every game popping the ball and making 1,000 passes, sometimes you have to win
As we said, England manager Thomas Tuchel was far from impressed with his side's performance.
"We got lucky," he said after a quarter-final that saw Norway take the lead, miss a great chance to make it 2-0, have a goal disallowed and also hit the bar.
"We made life very, very difficult for ourselves. The result is fantastic. We are in the last four. It's amazing but [I am] not happy with the performance - in every sense.
"We made life difficult for us in the way we played and how we played – sloppy, a lot of technical mistakes, not fast enough, not repetitive enough."
Tuchel suggested one thing had helped England advance.
"This is pure mentality," he said. dirty and we did that today."
England stand one win from their first men's World Cup final since 1966 as Jude Bellingham's brilliant two-goal display inspired them to come from behind to beat Norway after extra time in Miami.
Thomas Tuchel's side rode their luck in a quarter-final played in fierce heat and humidity, but Bellingham was once again the talisman to send England into the last four, where they will play Argentina - a match which will be shown live on the BBC.
In a tight, tense encounter, Norway went ahead after 36 minutes when Andreas Schjelderup's dipping effort deceived England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford to fly in.
England needed an instant response, with Bellingham inevitably providing it in first-half stoppage time when he took Anthony Gordon's pass perfectly in his stride to beat Norway keeper Orjan Nyland.
Tuchel was forced into half-time changes, replacing the influential Declan Rice, who has been struggling with illness and injury, as well as Noni Madueke, sending on Eberechi Eze and Bukayo Saka.
Norway threatened after the break, seeing a goal by Torbjorn Heggem ruled out for Erling Haaland's needless shove on Elliot Anderson, while David Moller Wolfe headed against the bar.
Haaland was subdued and eventually substituted at the break in extra time, with Bellingham having already stepped up again three minutes into the added period, pouncing after Nyland could only push out a shot from substitute Morgan Rogers.
England now go into their third World Cup semi-final since they lifted the Jules Rimet trophy 60 years ago, hoping they can change their fortunes after losses to West Germany in 1990 and Croatia in 2018.
