Gordon Backs Tuchel on England Possession Issues

Anthony Gordon has revealed surprise at being substituted when England were 1-0 up in their World Cup semi-final against Argentina, but refused to blame the defeat on Tuchel's decisions. The winger argued that wider cultural issues influenced the side's collapse as they struggled to keep possession under pressure, allowing Argentina to fight back with two late goals.

The head coach faced criticism for his tactical choices and his controversial comment that "ball possession" was not in his team's DNA, with Gordon now supporting this view despite the painful defeat that ended England's World Cup hopes. mwafrika.life
