[edit]

A footballer described as versatile,[96][97][98]Gomes is capable of playing in all midfield positions whereas he preferred to be deployed as an attacking midfielder behind the forward.[99][100][81]His playing style has been compared to that ofRonaldinhodue to his creativity, composure and dribbling.[101]In January 2015,Nanidescribed Gomes as Manchester United's next star.[102]Manchester United graduateDanny Webbersaid: "Gomes is still very small, but he sees the game seconds before others. Angel is likePaul Scholes;he can dictate a game with his intelligence. "[103]After having mostly played as a left midfielder and even as acentre-forwardfor his first season in France,[100][104]hisLillemanagerPaulo Fonsecastarted to deploy him as a central midfielder in a position where he is in charge of recovering the ball and directing the play.[105][106]When asked about his style of play after his first England senior team call-up, Gomes then stated: "I would like to say I am just a midfielder. I can operate in all three roles: I can play as the deep-lying midfielder, I can play as a No 8, I can play as a No 10. I just love to play in the midfield and be able to distribute and help the team play in all different areas of the pitch. I am confident. I like keeping the ball, I like taking responsibility."[107]

In an interview for Lille OSC website in September 2022, Gomes cited Spanish midfieldersAndrés IniestaandXavialong withBernardo SilvaandMarco Verrattias inspirations, and emphasised their vision and skill despite a lack of height and strength,[106]features they have in common (he is 5 ft 6 in (1.68 m) tall).[108][109]He confided: "When I was a child, I watchedBarcelonaa lot. I loved Andrés Iniesta, Xavi, I was inspired by their way of playing. "[106]On 9 March 2023, Gomes cited inL'ÉquipeSilva's ability to switch positions as an inspiration: "I feel comfortable playing in midfield or more attacking positions, I don't really have a preference [...]. The best in this role is Bernardo Silva. I first look at his presence, he looks a bit like me in size [...]. He's everywhere on the pitch, he's brave, he doesn't hide and always makes himself available to his team."[110]

Personal life

[edit]

Gomes is good friends with Jonathan David andTimothy Weah,as well asEdon Zhegrova,all three having met playing for Lille.[111][112]He is also close to English midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White,[113]knowing him in the England youth levels when they won both the 2017 U-17 World Cup and the 2023 European Under-21 Championship.[114]

Besides his native English and Portuguese (the language he speaks with his parents),[106]he says that he can understand French well, and is learning to speak it, on account of living inLille.[106]He is Christian, and stated in 2020: "I'm religious, I'm a Christian, so I'll pray before games and coming on to the pitch I'll always pray."[115]
