Arriving this summer from Newcastle for around 80 million euros, Anthony Gordon quickly established himself as one of the satisfactions of the start of the season for FC Barcelona. The English winger already has 4 assists in 5 La Liga matches, without having yet found the net. An express adaptation which confirms the choice of Hansi Flick, who particularly appreciates his influence in the game and his offensive activity. The German, however, believes that Gordon still needs to improve in efficiency in front of goal.
In an interview given to RAC1Gordon mainly told the behind-the-scenes story of his arrival in Catalonia. The Englishman admitted to having long doubted the seriousness of Barça’s interest: “For a while I didn’t believe the transfer to Barcelona was real. I said to my agent, “Yes, yes, okay…” I didn’t show much interest because I didn’t think it was that serious. Then I had a call with Hansi Flick, and that’s when I realized it was real. » Already impressed by the level of his team, he adds: “I arrived here thinking we could win every match, but even I didn’t expect us to win matches by 5 goals every time. » Gordon also named Pedri as the player who surprised him the most, despite already expecting to be impressed by Lamine Yamal: “I didn’t expect that. Any defense can be unlocked. We had an incredible start to the season. »
