Anthony Gordon’s Refreshing Take on Jack Grealish’s Position for England Impresses Everyone
Anthony Gordon, the Newcastle United winger, has been making waves after his refreshingly honest interview about Jack Grealish’s position for England. The 21-year-old was speaking to ITV after England’s 2-0 victory over the Republic of Ireland in the Nations League.
Gordon gave a glowing endorsement of his Manchester City teammate, highlighting how Grealish’s freedom to roam was instrumental in the team’s success. "I think it’s really important for his confidence," Gordon said. "He’s a top player, I think everyone knows that, but I think that position really suits him where he’s that free spirit. It’s where he played at Aston Villa, and I thought he was excellent today."
Grealish, who was left out of Gareth Southgate’s Euro 2024 squad, has been under scrutiny of late. However, Carsley’s decision to use him in a more central role against the Republic of Ireland seems to have revitalized the 28-year-old. Grealish’s ability to drift and create gaps in the final third was a key factor in England’s victory, and Gordon’s praise was music to his ears.
The Newcastle winger also shared his thoughts on Grealish’s recent struggles. "It was difficult for him, but it has given him something to bounce back from," Gordon said. "He needs to start playing regularly, scoring goals. I’m still not 100 percent fit, but I am getting there, so, from a personal point of view, I’m happy."
This interview is a welcome departure from the usual PR-driven responses we often see in football. Gordon’s refreshing honesty and passion for his teammate are traits that endear him to fans. It’s also a great sign for Grealish, who can take inspiration from Gordon’s words.
