Ferran Torres speaks after thrilling Villarreal comeback: “I’m working very well”

Barcelona’s fairytale 4-3 win over Villarreal boasted a multitude of mini comebacks.

The Yellow Submarines were the first to put up a remontada on the night, going from 2-0 down to 3-2 up. Barcelona then netted twice in quick succession to take home the game.

The Blaugranas’ comeback in the second half was initiated by a goal from Ferran Torres minutes after he came off the bench.

The Spanish winger showed great strength and awareness to squeeze a goal out of a narrow chance in the 68th minute and put the ball past Filiip Jörgensen.

Torres spoke to the media after his exhilarating cameo and spoke about his strong start to the new season including two goals in the last two games.

Ferran’s thoughts on the game

“I’m trying to take advantage of the opportunities that I have. Whenever the manager decides, I will try to help the team with goals and assists.”

Speaking on his commitment to the badge and Xavi Hernandez’s project, the Spanish phenom said, “I’m trying to do my best for the team, and I’m satisfied with how things are going.”

The youngster was on the brink of leaving Barcelona in the summer given his disappointing streak last season and the club’s dire need for player sales. To make such a strong comeback from the exit door is easier said than done, and Torres talked the media through the long shifts he put in behind the scenes.

“I’m working very well. Not everyone can see the invisible work.”

Finally, the goalscorer opted to dedicate his well-worked goal on the night to some of the forces behind his comeback.

“I want to dedicate my goal to my family and the fans.”
