🚨Luis Enrique on Ferran Torres being caught by a lip reader saying, "Please, let it be a goal," while VAR was checking his disallowed strike:
🗣“I didn't see it at first, but if that's what he said, it only shows that he cares. Every forward wants goals. That's normal. What I don't like is how quickly people use moments like that to mock a player.
Ferran has nothing to prove to anyone. I know the player he is, I know how hard he works every single day, and I know what he brings to a team even when he doesn't score. People only look at goals, but I look at his movement, his work rate, his pressing, and everything he does for the team.
We're talking about a player who scored 16 league goals without taking a penalty and finished as the highest scoring Spanish player in La Liga. That doesn't happen by luck. It comes from quality and commitment.
The criticism he receives is completely disproportionate. Social media has become a place where people judge players after every touch of the ball, but football isn't like that. Confidence can change everything for a striker.
My message to Ferran is simple: keep working, keep believing in yourself, and don't waste your energy listening to people who don't understand what it takes to play at this level. If he continues with the same attitude and commitment, the goals will come. I'm convinced of that.”
