Anthony Gordon has attracted attention not only for his performances on the pitch, but also for his reflections on today’s society.
The English footballer said he identifies with another era and explained: “I feel like I have a soul that is much older than my age, as if I belonged to the past”.
Along the same lines, he acknowledged that his personality would fit better in the 90s: “I think my personality fits better with the 90s. Nowadays, everyone is obsessed with social media, everything has become materialistic, and romance barely exists”.
Gordon also questioned the impact that, in his view, social media has had on society in recent years. “Since the emergence of social media around 2010, I think the world has started heading in the wrong direction”, he said.
His statements have garnered sympathy among some fans, especially those who share his nostalgic view of the 90s and his criticism of the influence of social media.
