❤️🩹🇪🇸 Fermín López: “It’s been worst summer, for sure. Everything was going well… feeling in the peak of my form and then the injury arrived”, told Catalunya Radio.
“At first, 𝐈 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐧’𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 it was tough as I also wanted to be there and play, since I was in my best form”.
“But 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐨, this is my country as those are my teammates, especially the Barcelona players there”.
“It also taught me a lot, I learned a lot… but this setback had really hit me hard. I have to admit that”.
“The goal is to return from this injury with a strong motivation, and 𝐈 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲. Last season, I showed my value and what I can offer to the team. And this season, I must continue to develop and play at the same level as last season”.

🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Neymar has announced that he has retired from the Brazilian national team:
"My moment with the National Team is already over. I made history, I gave my blood, but I don't want to anymore."
Some people will never understand the pain Fermín López is carrying.
Imagine spending the entire season as the best player in your position in the world and the player who contributed the most goals, only to suffer an injury and lose the chance to win the greatest trophy in football. Then, right after the World Cup ends, you find yourself fully fit again, training normally with your club.
Fermín could have delayed his return by saying he wasn’t ready, but instead, he came back exactly when the pre-season started.
