Barcelona young player Fermin Lopez commended teammate Inigo Martinez for his leadership, acknowledging the 33-year-old defender’s role in guiding the team during their successful start to the season.
Martinez has been a reliable figure in Barcelona’s defense, establishing a strong partnership with Pau Cubarsi.
When Gerard Romero interviewed Fermin, he referred to Martinez as “the captain without a Barça armband.” Fermin emphasized Martinez’s influence and leadership as crucial to the team’s early success.
Lopez further talked about Barcelona’s popular offside trap, which has been widely discussed this season. “The offside line? We practice extensively for it.” The rear defense is outstanding.
It’s a bold strategy, yet it’s highly organized,” he said.
Reflecting on their matches against strong teams, he recognized obstacles but remained hopeful.
Some individuals questioned our preparedness to challenge the top teams. We struggled against Bayern due to their strength, but I am even more thrilled for Saturday’s match at the Bernabéu.
Barcelona aims to maintain their positive form against local rivals Espanyol this Sunday.
