Barcelona newcomer Anthony Gordon says the Spanish giants will remain focused on their own tactical identity when they face Al Ahly in tonight’s highly anticipated clash.
Gordon acknowledged the quality of the Egyptian giants, describing Al Ahly as a great team, but insisted Barcelona will not allow their opponents to distract them from their established approach.
“I think it’ll be a great experience. Al Ahly is a great team, but at Barcelona we only focus on ourselves. We have a style that never changes,” Gordon said.
The new Barcelona player also expressed his excitement about experiencing the atmosphere of the stadium for the first time while wearing the famous Barcelona shirt.
“I can’t wait to discover the stadium and wear the Barcelona shirt inside it. I hope to score a goal and achieve victory,” he added.
Barcelona will look to impose their possession-based style and maintain control of the contest, while Al Ahly will aim to make the most of the opportunity to test themselves against one of Europe’s leading clubs.
For Gordon, the encounter represents a chance to make an early impression in Barcelona colours, with the forward hoping to mark the occasion with a goal and a victory.
