Anthony Gordon has expressed agreement with Thomas Tuchel's claim that controlling matches through possession is not inherent to English football. Reflecting on England's World Cup semi-final loss to Argentina, Gordon noted that cultural factors contribute to the team's struggles in maintaining ball control under pressure.
Gordon, who has gained insights from playing in Spain, believes England should embrace their physical strengths rather than attempt to emulate other styles. He defended Tuchel's tactical choices during the match and emphasized the need for better decision-making among players.
