The 23-year-old was a rare bright spark for England as they lost 1-0 to Brazil on Saturday night in the first of two final friendlies before Gareth Southgate names his squad for Euro 2024.

Gordon, who was named player of the tournament as England won the Under-21 European Championship last year, impressed off the left at Wembley 바카라 where Endrick바카라s late goal secured a narrow victory for the away side.

Southgate바카라s squad has been ravaged with injury before and during the current camp and, with the domestic campaign ramping up, several players who started against Brazil are expected to be rotated for the visit of Belgium on Tuesday night.

Gordon, though, is keen to don the England shirt once more and stake another claim for a spot on the plane to Germany.

바카라Not just Tuesday, any other day,바카라 he replied with a smile when asked if he wanted to stay in the side to face Belgium.

바카라I want to play as many games for England as I possibly can. I바카라m quite hard on myself so I wanted to score and win. If I think like that, I can바카라t do myself any harm.

바카라I know I played well but I hope for more. It was not quite how I envisaged it. But it바카라s still an amazing day for me, I relished every minute of it. I바카라ve got a taste now so I want more.바카라

Southgate embraced Gordon when he was replaced by Marcus Rashford in the second half, but the former Everton player revealed it did not come with a promise of a place in his Euros squad.

Asked if the England manager had told him he was on the plane, Gordon said: 바카라No! Hopefully he says that in a couple of months.

바카라He was saying, 바카라fantastic바카라. He was really pleased for me. I think he was happy with my performance which is always a good thing.

바카라It was chaotic. When I came off (against Chelsea on March 11), I didn바카라t know what was going to happen.

바카라Everything was up in the air. But I was really fortunate to miss out on any injury and I got to live the best day of my life.바카라
