England Forward’s Bikini Mishap Amuses Manager Ahead of Euro 2024 Clash
England forward, Gordon, found himself in an amusing predicament during a warm-down session at Euro 2024 when he took a tumble off a bike, much to the entertainment of manager Southgate. The comical incident unfolded as Gordon emerged for training with visible cuts to his face, hands, and knees, revealing later that he had crashed an electric bike.
Gordon confessed that the mishap occurred as he attempted to record a video message for his family while on the bike ride. The quirk of the story lay in the fact that the front brake on these electric bikes was on the right-hand side, contrary to his familiarity with the left-hand side brake in England, leading to his abrupt fall.
The England manager, Southgate, found the incident more humorous than worrying, joining others in sharing a laugh at Gordon’s expense. Despite the superficial wounds sustained by Gordon, the mood remained light-hearted, with the team chuckling at the mishap and Gordon’s subsequent discomfort.
Reflecting on the mishap, Gordon shared the ironic twist that he was actually trying to capture the moment on video for his family, which unwittingly led to his fall. He emphasized the lesson he learned about being too engrossed in phone distractions and missing out on enjoying the present moment.
Arriving back at the camp with a few scrapes and bruises, Gordon recounted the initial sting of treating the injuries, turning an unfortunate incident into a humorous anecdote that brought laughter to the team and paved the way for a valuable life lesson.
While Gordon may have seen limited game time at Euro 2024, with a brief substitute appearance in a match against Slovenia, the forward remains upbeat and prepared to contribute if called upon for England’s upcoming fixture against Slovakia in Gelsenkirchen.
Expressing his readiness to play his part, Gordon highlighted his direct approach, speed, and positive mindset as key strengths that could add a dynamic dimension to the team. With an eagerness to make things happen on the field, Gordon aims to establish himself as an indispensable asset for Southgate‘s squad.
