Ferran Torres needed to unwind after a hectic year in which he swapped Manchester for Barcelona in January. After playing the Nations League with Spain, he has been on vacation in the Maldives, has relaxed and has returned to his native Foios to continue training this week and fulfill a tradition that he has maintained for four years: visiting the 110 boys and girls of its campus that is celebrated from the 4th of July in the Poliesportiu Municipal. Torres will join the Blaugrana pre-season on Monday, July 11 along with the rest of the internationals to recover the best version of him. "I really want to show the player I am," he clarified.
His landing in January at the Camp Nou was not easy. Aware that Barça made a huge effort to sign him by paying Manchester City 55 million euros and agreeing another 10 in variables, the striker from Foios put all his efforts into trying to recover the best version of himself while he recovered from his injury. It should be remembered that on 19 Blaugrana he injured his right foot in the UEFA Nations League final on October 10 against France.
The time off was two months and although he made every effort to comply with the planned plan that contemplated his return in January, his progress was cut short by the coronavirus. “I am convinced that this course will see my best version. This year we start from scratch with the team, with the new signings, and we will see a better Ferran”, added the striker who has scored seven goals with the Blaugrana shirt in all competitions.
Aware of the times and the pressure of wearing the Blaugrana shirt, Torres insisted that despite the youth of the squad "we are capable of achieving great things". For this reason and because of his competitive nature, he is not worried that a striker of the stature of Robert Lewandowski could arrive. "We have confidence in the people of the team and in the possible signings that arrive. We know that Lewandowski wants to come, I would be very excited," he insisted.
Regarding the World Cup that will be played at the end of the year in Qatar, Ferran stressed that until it arrives "we are focused on the club, where we work day by day and where you have to do well, because if you don't have options to go to the World Cup. , be careful, but it's the club that gives you everything, the opportunity to go (to the World Cup), and you don't have to leave anything behind in games with your team”, he clarified.
