Thomas Tuchel Praises Barcelona Star Anthony Gordon After England Form

Anthony Gordon plays with much more aggressiveness and confidence, according to England manager Thomas Tuchel. The Barcelona winger has netted in all three of England’s UEFA Nations League matches during the international break, bringing his scoring run for the national team to seven consecutive appearances.

Gordon capped off a strong international window by contributing a goal and an assist in England’s 7-0 demolition of Croatia. Tuchel highlighted the noticeable shift in the player’s mindset following his summer transfer to Spain.

Now he plays with much more aggressiveness, with more confidence. I see a player full of confidence, of faith. He has reached another level.

Tuchel also noted that the forward has proven decisive across fixtures against Croatia, the Czech Republic, and Spain. His scoring streak now extends through previous World Cup contributions, validating the intensity that initially drew interest from the Catalan club.

Barcelona Weighs Squad Workload Ahead of Getafe Match

Barcelona invested roughly €70 million to secure Gordon for his relentless work rate, which currently places him among the squad leaders for top speed and sprints. He has already tallied four assists in La Liga, trailing only teammate Lamine Yamal.

Despite this productivity, manager Hansi Flick faces a lineup dilemma upon domestic resumption. Gordon’s heavy international schedule means he carries more fatigue than peers like Karim Adeyemi, who received rest during Germany’s fixtures.

Wembley Fixture Precedes Return to Club Action

Gordon remains with the national squad for one final fixture before traveling back to Spain. England faces the Czech Republic at Wembley on Tuesday. That late appearance could open the door for Adeyemi to secure the starting left-wing berth against Getafe next weekend.
