Anthony Gordon says the current England squad is the best group I have been a part of by a country mile as the Three Lions continue their World Cup journey. The Barcelona winger has played an important role in Englands run to the quarter-finals and believes the togetherness within Thomas Tuchels squad is helping drive the team towards success.Tuchel has repeatedly spoken about creating a brotherhood within the camp and Gordon says the atmosphere around the squad is unlike anything he has experienced with England before.Camp life is amazing. I am absolutely loving it, Gordon said on the latest episode of Extra Time.We have got an unbelievable group, the best England group I have been a part of by a country mile, in terms of chemistry, in terms of connection, not just on the pitch but off the pitch.In terms of standards off the pitch, we are holding each other accountable, which is really important for any team that wants to be successful.Table of ContentsGordon plays key role in Englands World Cup runGordon learning from Kane in pursuit of goalsGordon plays key role in Englands World Cup runGordon was one of Englands standout performers during Sundays last-16 victory over Mexico at the Estadio Azteca.Tuchels side showed remarkable resilience to progress despite playing more than 40 minutes with 10 men.The 25-year-old provided two assists for Harry Kane in the previous round against DR Congo before winning the penalty that the England captain converted in the win over Mexico.England now face Norway in the quarter-finals on Saturday as they continue their bid to win the World Cup for the first time since 1966.Gordon learning from Kane in pursuit of goalsDespite his creative contributions, Gordon says he is determined to become more of a goalscoring threat and has been turning to Kane for advice.I love finishing, its a big part of my game, I want to be a goalscorer, he said.The only way I can truly get to where I want to be is by practising every single day.The more practice allows you to become free in the mind on game day.I have been speaking to H [Kane] and trying to gain as much knowledge as I possibly can because he can do it on both feet, doesnt matter the angle, doesnt matter off his touch, the ball finds a way into the net, Gordon said.I have been trying to pick up a little bit off him.
