'It's not in us!' - Anthony Gordon defends Thomas Tuchel and claims England 'DNA' can NEVER replicate Spain’s tiki-taka style

Barcelona winger Anthony Gordon has weighed in on the identity crisis surrounding the England national team, insisting that the Three Lions must stop trying to mimic the technical mastery of Spain. Following England's heart-breaking World Cup semi-final exit, the former Newcastle man believes the nation needs to embrace its own chaotic, athletic roots rather than chasing a style that simply does not fit the English DNA.
