Anthony Gordon issues a warning: “It will be very hard to stop us scoring”

Anthony Gordon is delighted with his first few months at Barcelona and already understands why Hansi Flick’s side has been making such an impression at the start of the season. The English winger highlighted the squad’s huge range of options and sent a warning to their upcoming opponents.

“I’m very happy, and we know what we’re capable of. I think it will be very difficult to stop us from scoring.”

For Gordon, one of Barça’s main strengths lies in their ability to find answers regardless of the opponent’s approach.

“I think the main quality of this team is that we find a solution in every game situation. So whatever the other team does, I think we can find a solution.”

An attack with too many variations

The English player pointed to the number of different profiles Flick has at his disposal as an example.

“We have different characteristics. We have two No. 10s, Fermín and Dani Olmo, who are completely different. Lamine can play in any position, Raphinha is a different profile. Karim and me.”

Gordon also highlighted the variety in midfield, convinced that Barcelona have enough alternatives to find spaces even against very deep defenses.

“We have a couple of different midfielders: we can unlock any defense.”

The idea can be summed up in one trait the attacker sees as essential: goals can come from practically anywhere in the team.

“Goals can come from anywhere”

The Englishman admitted that Barcelona lost important players during the summer, but believes the new signings have helped build a more complete team.

“I know some great players left, like Ferran, Rashford or Lewandowski, but good players have also been signed. And now we really feel that we are a team.”

For Gordon, the proof can even be seen in the full-backs.

“Goals can come from anywhere. Xavi Espart, the left-back, scored the other day. It’s much more dangerous to have a team like that.”

The attacking depth has also exceeded his own expectations. Gordon expected a good start, but admits Barça’s goal output surprised him.

“I expected to win every game, but maybe not by scoring five goals.”

And he added:

“I think we’ve had an incredible start to the season. And if I said I expected us to score five goals in so many games, that wouldn’t be true.”

The intensity in training prepares Barça

Gordon also explained how the daily demands at Barcelona are raising his competitive level.

“Training, for me, prepares you for the matches. If you train hard, the game becomes much easier in matches because you play against the best in training and the intensity is there.”

The Englishman believes that facing top-level teammates every day makes official matches seem, at certain moments, less demanding.

“You have to defend, you have to attack. Everything that comes with it. Then matchday comes and the team you’re playing against doesn’t have that level of players.”

Gordon urges the team not to let their guard down

Despite the spectacular start, the winger knows Barcelona still have a long way to go.

That is why he called for the team to stay focused and avoid thinking too much about what lies ahead.

“It’s important not to look too far ahead. We now have two tough matches before the break and we have to focus on the first one.”

For Gordon, that mindset is precisely one of the reasons Barça have started so strongly.

“We haven’t been complacent: we’ve been ruthless, we’ve been dominant. And we have to keep going like that.”

Barcelona already have a warning coming from inside the dressing room: with the number of attacking weapons Flick has at his disposal, Gordon believes finding a way to stop them will become an increasingly difficult mission.
