Anthony Gordon appeared before the press at dinner time. But he was not sparing with words; he elaborated on his first impressions, and even dared to speak several times in Spanish. “Believe it or not, since I was three years old I already wanted to play for Barça. I have learned more Spanish in the last two years because at Newcastle we had a physio with whom I practiced,” he revealed.

Despite the delay, the footballer never got nervous in his hotel while waiting for the moment to sign. “I was very calm. I don’t know what happened, these are legal matters that I don’t understand. I was ready for the announcement,” he pointed out.
The winger stated that he will not be burdened by the pressure of the 70 million that Barça paid for him, which makes him the seventh most expensive signing in the club’s history. “I am ready for this challenge. I am aware of the club’s history and the incredible players who have worn this shirt. It is a dream come true to be part of the best team in the world,” he emphasized.
In fact, when his agent told him about Barcelona’s interest, there was not much more to say. “I didn’t hesitate because for me it is the best team in the world and it has been a dream since I was a child. You don’t sign for a club like this every day. It is the biggest club on the planet. I am excited about the challenge,” he insisted.

Flick’s first reinforcement has already spoken with the German coach. “I have spoken with him. I was already very excited before talking to him. And even more after. He is a great coach who has done a phenomenal job. I hope that together we can win many titles,” he stressed.
And speaking of titles, Gordon only has one League Cup in his record. But he hopes to increase that number at Camp Nou. “I want to win titles, of course, and if it can be the sixth Champions League,” he pointed out.
About his new teammates, he mentioned the quality of Lamine Yamal and the rest but in terms of style, he focuses on Raphinha. “Because of my intensity and speed I am similar to Raphinha but I want to help the team as much as possible by scoring goals and assisting,” he described himself.
