The Academy graduate details how getting into peak physical condition during lockdown and his increasing confidence during training sessions meant he “expected” the call to start against Liverpool.
Gordon outlines why he believes his energy and spirit on the pitch matches the Club’s DNA – and how the support of retiring Blues great Baines and Club captain Seamus Coleman has been key in his development.
The 19-year-old also reveals how, while he was “in awe” of manager Carlo Ancelotti at first, he has formed a strong relationship with the Italian and is relishing the chance to learn more from him going forward.
