Anthony Gordon backs Thomas Tuchel against criticism over England's game control. The winger argues that dominating through possession is not in English football's DNA, unlike nations such as Spain. Gordon acknowledges the pain of the 2026 semi-final elimination against Argentina, but refuses to blame the manager's tactical decisions. Instead, he points to broader cultural issues affecting the team under pressure.
