The Barcelona winger remains confident amid the team’s downturn: “The season is like a marathon”

Ferran Torres has shown in recent weeks that he is not affected by the criticism that surrounds him, as he has declared himself to be Barcelona’s hero on more than one occasion in all competitions.

His resurgence began in the team’s 5-1 victory over Mallorca, where he started and scored a goal at the Estadi de Son Moix. He then found the back of the net against Benito Villamarín in Barcelona’s draw against Real Betis.

His best performance, needless to say, came at Signal Iduna Park where he scored a brace to help Barcelona to a special victory and it is safe to say that he is in great form.

The shark speaks

Speaking to the media in a recent interview ahead of the clash against Atlético Madrid, the Barcelona forward spoke about the team’s shortcomings in La Liga and refused to give them too much importance.

“The season is like a marathon. During this race there may be moments when you are not at your best, but the important thing is to stay calm because we are as good as when we were in a very good dynamic.” he said, keeping faith in the team.

The Spanish winger then explained how the media was very unforgiving towards the club, exaggerating the defeats and downplaying the victories. Without mincing words, he said:

“We are people who are used to the fact that when a result comes out there is tension around us, but we feel completely calm and very confident. We train in the best way possible.”

Looking ahead to the difficult games ahead, Torres expressed his confidence in the dynamics and trusted that the team will soon find its best version.

“From here on, little by little we return to our level. And when we reach this level, we become invincible.”

“We are ready to press” he concluded.
