Ferran Torres returns to Valencia with a clear conscience

After the emotional roller coaster of Barça-Naples, with the contrast between the euphoria in the celebration of the penalty goal and the final tears for those missed chances, another match arrives that points directly to the heart of Ferran Torres: visit to Valencia for the first time, the club in which he was trained since he was 6 years old.

The striker looks very good ahead of tomorrow’s League match, Sunday at Mestalla (4:15 p.m., Movistar LaLiga). He is calm. He knows that there are people who like him because of the circumstances in which he left, but he will return with a clear conscience.

He was able to leave the Mestalla for free because he finished his contract with him Valencia in 2021 and he only had to wait, as happens in numerous operations in all clubs, but he did not want to reach that controversial situation and in the end he left money in the Levantine club, 28 million euros, a significant amount in times of pandemic because was sold to Manchester City in the summer of 2020.

The one from Foios, a town that is only 7 kilometers from Valencia, knows that all eyes will be on him and he is clear that he does not go with any spirit of revenge, he only wants to win for Barça and for himself.

A ‘che’ follower from the cradle, he tried out at the Valencia football school in the Prebenjamín category and stayed there, standing out in all the teams until he reached the first youth team at the hands of Marcelino Garcia Toral in the 2017-18 season. Although he did not play in the final, he won the 2018-19 Copa del Rey against Barça (2-1).

Tomorrow he will face one of his best friends in the world of football, Hugo Guillamonwith whom he burned stages together.
