"I hadn't played for a while and was a bit clumsy as a false 9. But I believe I can perform well in any attacking position,"
"No doubt the level is much higher, and the pace is faster, but honestly, I see myself ready to help the team."
"'I am going in as a number 9, and I'm going to scoore,' he added. 'We all laughed on the bench... but that's exactly what happened when he came on.'"
Toni Fernandez made his La Liga debut against Girona, starting as a false nine under Hansi Flick. The teenager experienced some clumsiness adjusting to the unfamiliar role after limited recent playing time but believes he can perform well across attacking positions. Fernandez noted that the competitive level and pace in the senior squad are higher, yet he feels prepared to help the team and hopes for increased minutes. Ronald Araujo predicted he would score when brought on as a substitute and subsequently netted the match-winning goal.
