Gordon: We have to play like Englishmen, not try to imitate Spain
Antony Gordon, the star of the England national team, praised the style that characterizes Spanish football, confirming that there is a clear difference between the playing methods of the English and Spanish national teams, especially in their handling of the ball and possession.
Gordon said: "The Spaniards are terrifying in the way they keep the ball.. We English are not like them, I don't know if it's a matter of genetics, but we are different from them."
The England star added: "We have to play like Englishmen, with physical strength and direct play, and not try to imitate anyone."
Gordon's comments come in the context of discussing the identity of the England national team and the style it should adopt, emphasizing the need to leverage the strengths that English players possess, rather than attempting to mimic the styles of other national teams.
Gordon believes that physical strength, speed, and direct play are important elements of English football, while Spain is characterized by its great ability to retain possession and build play through ball control.
