The striker of the Spanish team analyzes the options that the ‘Red’ has to be crowned world champion
“We have received a lot of criticism and many times it is unfair, we are a very young and hard-working team,” he points out.
At the age of 10, he lived with tremendous enthusiasm the victory of the Spanish team in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa with Hugo Guillamón in a restaurant. 12 years later, he will be one of the most essential pieces of Luis Enrique’s ‘Red’ in the World Cup in Qatar. The objective is none other than to embroider the second star on the chest.
“The world of football moves very fast and many times you don’t have time to assimilate things, I still can’t believe I’m in Qatar”, he acknowledged in an interview with ‘Marca’. Asked about how this World Cup has been prepared, given that it takes place in November and not in summer, Ferran explains that “In particular, I think it’s better; it’s going to be a much more physical World Cup, because the players are going to reach an optimal level, a precious level is expected”.
The one from Foios faces it as another break although this is “a little longer and you live in a different way”. In the same way, he assures that he has not been afraid of getting injured because he plays “game by game”. “I think that everything is written, in addition, and that if you have to injure yourself, you will injure yourself”Add.
In relation to the criticism that the Spanish team has received, he points out that they are “many times unfair”, but “We know what football is like and that we have to be above this” and he sums it up in one sentence: “we are a young and hard-working team”.
He is one of the youngest players in the national team and managing pressure is always difficult. Ferran, however, has managed to reverse his situation of ostracism at Barça and hopes to be important with the ‘Red’. “It is true that I have gone through a more difficult time, but I have put myself in the hands of professionals and I am very well. People don’t realize that football is a sport in which you are subjected to a lot of pressure and a lot of criticism and you have to know how to handle it.. They think that it is easy, that we are all machines or robots, but I get there very well physically and mentally,” he acknowledged.

The Spanish team caressed the Eurocup and the UEFA Nations League. Will the third time be the charm? “If we are not taken into account, better for us. We trust a lot in ourselves and in the coach. We are a very hard-working team and we are very calm because we know that we are going to give it our all”, he explained in the aforementioned interview.
About Luis Enrique he has commented that “He is a coach who protects the player a lot, which is appreciated; he’s been through a lotwith criticism, and he knows how to handle it and helps us manage it”. Asked about the fact that Spain does not have any ‘megacrack’, the man from Foios is clear: “we are a team, we are all going in the same direction, we are all friends and that’s clear.
