Gerard Martin reported a very good season with Barcelona after shifting from full-back to center-back. He said he felt comfortable in a position he had not played before and believed he competed at the level Barcelona demands. He noted that Barcelona won three titles previously, faced some bad knockout rounds this year, but performed strongly in the league and won the Super Cup. Martin also described a head injury against Valencia, saying the kick hurt at first, he later noticed blood, and he received treatment with stitches before returning to play. He is now hoping for a World Cup call-up with Spain, with Luis de la Fuente set to announce the squad on Monday.
"“I think I've had a very good season. I started as a full-back, then I moved to center-back, a position I hadn't played before, but I've felt very comfortable there. I think I've competed at the level that Barcelona demands,” he said after Barcelona's final game of the season against Valencia."
"“At a collective level, the same, we came from winning three titles, which is not easy at all, and this year we have had some bad knockout rounds, but in the League we have been very good and we also won the Super Cup.”"
"“The kick hurt at first. I felt pain, but later I noticed blood. They treated me, put stitches in, and then I was able to go back and play,” he added."
"Martin is now hoping for a World Cup call up with Spain. Luis de la Fuente will announce his squad on Monday."
