Barcelona’s Fermin Lopez – ‘From here, the only thing he can do is believe in himself’
New York TimesAt one point, Fermin Lopez could have become that guy who, in 25 years, would be sitting at his local bar, surrounded by friends, unfolding every little detail of the best day of his life over and over: a summer night in Dallas when he represented Barcelona in a pre-season Clasico and scored a belter past Thibaut Courtois. The winger’s cross was put down with a jaw-dropping first touch from Fermin, who controlled the ball while he was turning around inside the box and shaping his body for the final shot. “I am especially thrilled for him because I saw something special in Fermin since the first day he came in pre-season.” Last season, Fermin didn’t even make the cut for Barcelona’s second team and was sent on loan to third-tier side Linares. “The main thing I’d tell Fermin is he had to believe in it more,” said Xavi.
