Curtis Jones Scores with England, Not with Critics…
Turns out, Curtis Jones might just be the best-kept secret since sliced bread! While Liverpool fans are scrolling through their Twitter feeds, shaking their heads, Jones was out on the field making Thomas Tuchel’s eyebrows do a victory dance. England took on Albania, and our boy Curtis was front and center, proving why he’s the latest apple in Tuchel’s tactical eye.
Considering England’s midfield looks like a reunion of superstar football cards—Jude Bellingham, Declan Rice, need we say more?—Jones’ inclusion may have been a shock to some, like finding a pickle in your sandwich. But did Tuchel see something we didn’t? Absolutely yes! Despite all whispers of who should’ve played, Jones seized the moment as coolly as a cucumber, showing his ball control skills like a magician with new tricks against the Albanian fortress of defense.
While Jones’ performance sparked fireworks on social media, his critics were only too eager to light their sparklers. One disgruntled Liverpool fan claimed they were unimpressed after 15 minutes—rather like leaving a movie because the popcorn wasn’t buttery enough. Yet, for Jones, rising above the tweet storm seems like another day in the life of a player on the rise, who keeps turning critics into (hopeful) believers—one game at a time!
