Czechia coach Santi Denia has praised Anthony Gordon in a Guardian interview ahead of another meeting with England. Discussing individual quality, he placed the England attacker alongside Lamine Yamal. Denia also criticised the demands of four international matches in 11 days, saying the schedule left little time to train. His assessment reflects his own coaching perspective and extensive experience in Spain's youth system, rather than an objective ranking of the two players or their market values.
