England's Gordon Backs Tuchel on Possession Philosophy

England winger Anthony Gordon has supported Thomas Tuchel's assertion that controlling games through possession is not part of English football's DNA. Gordon, who was substituted when England were 1-0 up against Argentina in their World Cup semi-final, refused to blame Tuchel's decisions for the defeat.

The 22-year-old argued that wider cultural issues influenced England's collapse, which saw Argentina fight back with two late goals. Gordon's comments come as England continues to struggle with ball retention under pressure, a problem that flared during their Nations League matches and has been intensely scrutinized since the World Cup. cricket-ipl.in
