England played against the Czech Republic in a preparation game for upcoming tournaments. Thomas Tuchel is the current coach of the England national team.
“Not many people do that,” said Tuchel about Gordon’s 1-0 win and spoke of a “good cross, a good goal.” That was also praise for Alexander-Arnold.
After the final whistle, it was also important for Gordon to underline Alexander-Arnold's importance. »Few players have the skills, technique and courage to possibly make a mistake and try that cross. That's why he's so good and I really wanted to play with him for that reason," Gordon said on English TV.
And then added: “He had his own trip with England. He probably should have played more." Gordon corrected himself immediately and said "want to play, sorry" - but the sentence was out of the world.
England also played a long majority against the Czechs. After just 25 minutes, Czech midfielder Pavel Šulc was shown a red card after a serious foul. Despite the early majority, Tuchel's team initially had a difficult time against the deep-lying hosts. Gordon then scored in the 47th minute, and Harry Kane from FC Bayern Munich made it 2-0 in the 69th minute.
