  1. 0:00De la Fuente brought the training
  2. 0:01session to a screeching halt.
  3. 0:03Whistle blown, red-faced, arms wide open
  4. 0:06, he sent two world champions straight
  5. 0:08to the showers. That happened yesterday
  6. 0:10at Las Rozas.
  7. 0:12And the craziest part is that it all
  8. 0:14started with a confession Ferran Torres
  9. 0:16had been keeping to himself for weeks.
  10. 0:20A confession he made to five former
  11. 0:22Barça teammates at a dining table two
  12. 0:24hours before training began.
  13. 0:28A confession that Yamal's teammate
  14. 0:30answered with the harshest truth Ferran
  15. 0:32has heard in months.
  16. 0:34What did Ferran say at that table?
  17. 0:37What did his teammate reply, and what
  18. 0:39exactly happened in that rondos session
  19. 0:41for De la Fuente to stop everything and
  20. 0:43send two regular starters home before
  21. 0:45the week's matches?
  22. 0:47I’ll tell you everything, name by name,
  23. 0:49sentence by sentence, from the beginning
  24. 0:51.
  25. 0:52You're watching Desmarque Total.
  26. 0:55Subscribe and hit the bell because today
  27. 0:56we’re covering what happens inside the
  28. 0:58locker rooms before anyone else.
  29. 1:01To understand what happened yesterday,
  30. 1:02we have to go back to the summer. August
  31. 1:04, Ferran Torres stops training with
  32. 1:06Barça while his sale to PSG is being
  33. 1:08finalized.
  34. 1:1150 million fixed plus five in variables
  35. 1:13, a contract until 2031, and a statement
  36. 1:16that hurt in Barcelona almost more than
  37. 1:18the transfer itself: that PSG was the
  38. 1:20right club to win the Champions League.
  39. 1:25Just like that, cold and blunt, many
  40. 1:27Culés were left speechless.
  41. 1:30Because just weeks earlier, Ferran had
  42. 1:32been a national hero.
  43. 1:34World Cup final, extra time against
  44. 1:36Argentina, nerves on edge.
  45. 1:38And suddenly Ferran appears and scores
  46. 1:40the goal that gives Spain their second
  47. 1:42star.
  48. 1:43In Barcelona, we celebrated it as if he
  49. 1:45were one of our own, because he was one
  50. 1:47of our own.
  51. 1:49And that same kid, with the medal still
  52. 1:51hanging around his neck, packed his bags
  53. 1:53and left for Paris.
  54. 1:55At first, it seemed like he had made the
  55. 1:57right choice.
  56. 1:59A brace on his debut, seven in his first
  57. 2:01six games, Ligue 1 Player of the Month
  58. 2:03in September.
  59. 2:05In Paris, they even invented a new chant
  60. 2:07. "O Ferran" turned into "Hola la Ferran
  61. 2:10," but football has a very short memory
  62. 2:12.
  63. 2:13Since September, when he scored against
  64. 2:15Marseille, Ferran hasn't found the back
  65. 2:17of the net.
  66. 2:19Eight consecutive matches without a goal
  67. 2:20.
  68. 2:21Eight.
  69. 2:22Saturday's match against Troyes was hard
  70. 2:24to believe. PSG won one-nil, and Ferran
  71. 2:27had three one-on-ones with the keeper.
  72. 2:30Three. None of them went in.
  73. 2:32In Paris, they are starting to look at
  74. 2:33him differently.
  75. 2:35With Dembélé and Kvaratskhelia injured,
  76. 2:37everyone expected the big summer signing
  77. 2:39to step up.
  78. 2:42And it turns out that others are the
  79. 2:43ones scoring the goals.
  80. 2:45Kids that a year ago almost no one
  81. 2:47outside of France knew.
  82. 2:50And from what we've been able to learn,
  83. 2:52there are already those in his inner
  84. 2:53circle who have heard him say that the
  85. 2:55problem isn't him, that Luis Enrique's
  86. 2:57system doesn't suit him, that they put
  87. 2:59him far from the box, and that when the
  88. 3:00ball reaches him, he no longer has the
  89. 3:02legs to finish.
  90. 3:04Quite ironic.
  91. 3:05The same coach for whom he went to Paris
  92. 3:07is now to blame for his goal drought.
  93. 3:10With all that weighing on him, Ferran
  94. 3:12caught the plane to Madrid.
  95. 3:15De la Fuente's list came out on Friday
  96. 3:17and his name was there, and from what
  97. 3:19we're told, Ferran had that moment
  98. 3:20circled in red for days.
  99. 3:23There were five Barça players in the
  100. 3:25call-up. Lamine, Pedri, Fermín, Cubarsí
  101. 3:28, and Joan García. The same ones with
  102. 3:31whom he won titles last season.
  103. 3:34The reunion was like something out of a
  104. 3:35movie.
  105. 3:37Hugs at the door, jokes in the hallway,
  106. 3:39Fermín pulling his ear over the French
  107. 3:41chant.
  108. 3:43The usual among friends who haven't seen
  109. 3:45each other in months.
  110. 3:46What no one saw coming was what happened
  111. 3:48after lunch.
  112. 3:50There were two hours left before the
  113. 3:51first training session.
  114. 3:55The rest of the group went to rest in
  115. 3:56their rooms, and before getting up from
  116. 3:58the table, Ferran asked the five to stay
  117. 4:00for a moment, saying he had something to
  118. 4:02tell them, something he had been
  119. 4:03thinking about for weeks and didn't want
  120. 4:05them to hear from anywhere else.
  121. 4:09The five looked at each other.
  122. 4:11Pedri sat back down, Fermín pushed his
  123. 4:13plate aside, Joan García placed his
  124. 4:15phone face down on the table, and after
  125. 4:18a few seconds that felt eternal, Ferran
  126. 4:20let it out: he wanted to return to Barça
  127. 4:22.
  128. 4:23Just like that, without beating around
  129. 4:25the bush.
  130. 4:26From what we've been able to learn,
  131. 4:28Ferran explained that he isn't happy in
  132. 4:30Paris, that since he stopped scoring he
  133. 4:32feels alone, that the PSG locker room is
  134. 4:34nothing like what he experienced in
  135. 4:36Barcelona, that he misses the city, the
  136. 4:38people, the daily jokes, even the car
  137. 4:40ride to the pitch.
  138. 4:44He told them that Luis Enrique's system
  139. 4:46is suffocating him, that in every match
  140. 4:48he takes the field feeling like he's
  141. 4:49playing with the handbrake on.
  142. 4:54And he told them something else: that he
  143. 4:56had already decided, that as soon as the
  144. 4:58break was over he would sit down with
  145. 5:00the PSG board and tell them he wants to
  146. 5:02leave in January, that he wants to go
  147. 5:04home.
  148. 5:07No one moved at the table, and what he
  149. 5:09said next was what left the five
  150. 5:10completely stunned.
  151. 5:13Ferran knows perfectly well that PSG is
  152. 5:15not going to let him go for free.
  153. 5:18They paid 50 million for him just 3
  154. 5:20months ago and signed him until 2031.
  155. 5:23To leave, you have to negotiate, and to
  156. 5:25negotiate with PSG, you have to put
  157. 5:27money on the table.
  158. 5:29Well, Ferran is willing to pay it.
  159. 5:32According to sources close to the
  160. 5:34national team, the striker confessed
  161. 5:35that he wants to use part of his World
  162. 5:37Cup winning bonus and his own savings to
  163. 5:39compensate PSG and facilitate his exit.
  164. 5:44And that, if necessary, he will accept
  165. 5:46any salary cut Barça needs to be able to
  166. 5:48register him.
  167. 5:51He doesn't mind earning less; all he
  168. 5:52wants is to wear the Barça jersey again
  169. 5:54and play with them once more.
  170. 5:57Imagine the scene.
  171. 6:01A world champion, the man who scored the
  172. 6:03second star, sitting at a table in Rosas
  173. 6:05, telling his friends he is willing to
  174. 6:07pay out of his own pocket to undo what
  175. 6:09he did last summer.
  176. 6:15It’s like someone who sells their
  177. 6:16village house to buy an apartment in the
  178. 6:18city, and three months later returns to
  179. 6:20the village willing to pay the new owner
  180. 6:21whatever it takes to get the keys back.
  181. 6:26The Barça players didn't know what to
  182. 6:28say.
  183. 6:29What they felt was a very strange mix.
  184. 6:32On one hand, pain, because when Ferran
  185. 6:34left, he left on bad terms. He stopped
  186. 6:37training, said those things about the
  187. 6:38Champions League, and abandoned the club
  188. 6:40in the middle of summer in a very
  189. 6:42awkward situation. For those who feel
  190. 6:44the pressure like Pedri, Fermín, or
  191. 6:46Lamine, that hurt.
  192. 6:48They felt it like when a friend leaves
  193. 6:50the group without saying goodbye and
  194. 6:51then someone tells you they are thrilled
  195. 6:53with their new group.
  196. 6:55On the other hand, surprise. None of
  197. 6:57them thought Ferran was capable of
  198. 6:59something like this, of swallowing his
  199. 7:01pride like that, of admitting in front
  200. 7:02of them that he was wrong. Fermín was
  201. 7:04the first to react. He patted him on the
  202. 7:07back and told him, half-jokingly, that
  203. 7:08he could have thought about it sooner
  204. 7:10and everyone would have been spared a
  205. 7:12summer of anguish.
  206. 7:13Ferran laughed, but he was hoping for
  207. 7:15something more.
  208. 7:17He was hoping for a "we want you back,"
  209. 7:19a "come now," a "we miss you."
  210. 7:22That sentence never came. An
  211. 7:24uncomfortable silence fell, one of those
  212. 7:26that weigh heavy. Pedri looked at Fermín
  213. 7:28, Cubarsí looked at the floor, and then
  214. 7:31Fermín spoke.
  215. 7:33What came out of Fermín's mouth at that
  216. 7:35moment explains everything that happened
  217. 7:37later on that training pitch.
  218. 7:40And when you hear what he said to him,
  219. 7:42you will understand why Ferran got up
  220. 7:43from the table without saying goodbye.

  222. 7:48haven't already.
  223. 7:50Turn on your notifications, because
  224. 7:51what’s coming next is going to be the
  225. 7:53biggest talking point in the coming
  226. 7:54hours within the Spanish national team.
  227. 7:57Fermín is 19 years old, but he already
  228. 7:59speaks like a veteran in that locker
  229. 8:01room.
  230. 8:02And from what we're told, he decided to
  231. 8:03be honest with Ferran, without malice
  232. 8:05and without beating around the bush,
  233. 8:07because he thought it was fair for his
  234. 8:09friend to know the truth before taking a
  235. 8:10step he might later regret.
  236. 8:15He told him he was very happy that he
  237. 8:17wanted to return, that they loved him,
  238. 8:18that they always would, that he still
  239. 8:20had lifelong friends in that locker room
  240. 8:22, but that the striker position was
  241. 8:24already taken, that the locker room had
  242. 8:26already chosen, and that this striker is
  243. 8:28named Julián Álvarez.
  244. 8:32Ferran was stunned, and then Fermín told
  245. 8:34him what had happened on Sunday at the
  246. 8:36Metropolitano.
  247. 8:39Before the match, in the visiting locker
  248. 8:41room, Flick gathered the team, talked
  249. 8:43about the game, about the pressure,
  250. 8:45about how to hurt Atleti, and at one
  251. 8:47point, he brought up a topic no one
  252. 8:48expected in a pre-match talk.
  253. 8:54Julián Flick asked them directly if they
  254. 8:56wanted Julián in the locker room, if
  255. 8:57they saw him as the striker this Barça
  256. 8:59needs, because he was clear on it, Deco
  257. 9:01was clear on it, but the German wanted
  258. 9:03to know what they thought, those who
  259. 9:05share the day-to-day and play for the
  260. 9:06results on the pitch.
  261. 9:11The answer was unanimous, and Lamine
  262. 9:12told Ferran that they gave it to Flick
  263. 9:14in the best way possible, in front of
  264. 9:16everyone.
  265. 9:19From that moment on, Ferran started
  266. 9:20connecting the dots, because Ferran had
  267. 9:22also seen the footage; half the planet
  268. 9:24had seen it.
  269. 9:27That image that went viral on social
  270. 9:29media where Julián comes out of the
  271. 9:31tunnel in the line of Barça players as
  272. 9:32if he were just one of them.
  273. 9:36And the end of the match, everyone saw
  274. 9:38that.
  275. 9:39The final whistle, Atleti defeated at
  276. 9:41home, and Lamine, Cubarsí, Gerard Martín
  277. 9:44, and De Jong running over to find
  278. 9:46Julián to greet him.
  279. 9:48One after another in front of 70,000
  280. 9:50people.
  281. 9:53In Madrid, the Atleti fans couldn't
  282. 9:55believe it, and in Paris, Ferran had
  283. 9:57watched it on his phone like any other
  284. 9:59fan, without imagining for a second what
  285. 10:01was behind it.
  286. 10:04Now he knew.
  287. 10:06Those gestures carried a message, and
  288. 10:08that message was directed at Flick and
  289. 10:10Deco.
  290. 10:11That is our striker, we want him here.
  291. 10:14Lamine explained it all to him calmly,
  292. 10:16with affection, but placing the truth
  293. 10:18above everything else. Ferran said
  294. 10:20nothing for a long while.
  295. 10:23Then he asked a question, just one.
  296. 10:26He asked Lamine if he had also raised
  297. 10:28his hand at that meeting.
  298. 10:30Lamine told him yes.
  299. 10:33Ferran nodded, got up from the table,
  300. 10:35picked up his tray, and went to his room
  301. 10:37without saying goodbye.
  302. 10:40The five of them sat there looking at
  303. 10:42each other. Joan Garcia broke the
  304. 10:44silence, saying that hadn't gone well at
  305. 10:46all.
  306. 10:47Pedri replied that he would get over it
  307. 10:49, that in a while he’d be joking around
  308. 10:51again like nothing happened.
  309. 10:54Pedri was wrong, because what Ferran had
  310. 10:56just heard felt like a betrayal.
  311. 10:59His friends, the ones he thought were
  312. 11:01waiting for him with open arms, had
  313. 11:03chosen someone else—and not just anyone
  314. 11:05, the same Argentine striker he had
  315. 11:07beaten in the World Cup final with his
  316. 11:09goal in extra time.
  317. 11:11Four months later, Julian Alvarez was
  318. 11:13winning the match that mattered most to
  319. 11:15Ferran Torres.
  320. 11:17Two hours later, the group went down to
  321. 11:19the pitch.
  322. 11:21De la Fuente had prepared a light
  323. 11:23session, rondos, tactics, and a
  324. 11:24scrimmage at the end.
  325. 11:27Ferran was the last one to leave the
  326. 11:28dressing room. The Barca players looked
  327. 11:30for him with their eyes.
  328. 11:32Fermin tried to approach him, but Ferran
  329. 11:34walked right past him toward the other
  330. 11:36end of the field.
  331. 11:37For the first time all day, he wasn't
  332. 11:39with them.
  333. 11:41In the rondo, by some twist of fate, it
  334. 11:43was Ferran's turn in the middle, his
  335. 11:45turn to press.
  336. 11:48And in front of him, passing the ball
  337. 11:49with the ease of those who have played
  338. 11:51together for years, were Pedri, Fermin,
  339. 11:53and Lamine.
  340. 11:55Ferran went after the ball as if his
  341. 11:57life depended on it.
  342. 11:59In a warm-up rondo on a Monday afternoon
  343. 12:01, the first tackle was on Fermin, a hit
  344. 12:03to the ankle that would have earned a
  345. 12:05yellow card in a real match.
  346. 12:07Fermin looked at him with confusion.
  347. 12:10Ferran made a gesture of apology and
  348. 12:12kept going.
  349. 12:13The second was on Lamine, a shoulder
  350. 12:15barge at full speed.
  351. 12:17Lamine fell to the ground, got up, and
  352. 12:19didn't say a word.
  353. 12:21Some players from other clubs started
  354. 12:23looking at each other because Ferran
  355. 12:24only lunged like that when someone from
  356. 12:26Barca had the ball.
  357. 12:27With the others, he was normal.
  358. 12:30What set everything off was the
  359. 12:31scrimmage at the end.
  360. 12:33Ferran ended up on the opposing team to
  361. 12:35Pedri. During the first few minutes,
  362. 12:37things calmed down.
  363. 12:40Ferran ran, pressed, and even had a
  364. 12:42clear chance against Joan Garcia, and
  365. 12:44like in recent weeks, the ball went wide
  366. 12:46; some teammates chuckled, but Ferran
  367. 12:49didn't.
  368. 12:51And then came the play.
  369. 12:53Pedri received the ball with his back to
  370. 12:55the goal with that calmness he always
  371. 12:57has, turned to start the play, and
  372. 12:59Ferran arrived from behind at full speed
  373. 13:01and took down both player and ball.
  374. 13:04Pedri fell to the ground and sat there
  375. 13:06for a few seconds clutching his ankle.
  376. 13:09The whole pitch went silent.
  377. 13:12Any Culer who has suffered through
  378. 13:13Pedri's injuries in recent years knows
  379. 13:15that chill when they see him lying on
  380. 13:17the grass.
  381. 13:20Well, those at Las Rozas felt that exact
  382. 13:22same chill.
  383. 13:24Pedri got up, his ankle was fine, but
  384. 13:26his patience had run out.
  385. 13:29He went straight to Ferran and asked him
  386. 13:31what he was doing.
  387. 13:33He told him he had been putting up with
  388. 13:34unnecessary tackles all afternoon and
  389. 13:36that the last one was the straw that
  390. 13:38broke the camel's back.
  391. 13:40Ferran replied that that was how he
  392. 13:42trained, and if he didn't like it, he
  393. 13:43could go somewhere else.
  394. 13:46Pedri told him he was the one who had
  395. 13:48already gone somewhere else.
  396. 13:50That’s when everything exploded.
  397. 13:52They confronted each other, Fermín ran
  398. 13:54to the center, Cubarsí grabbed Pedri's
  399. 13:57arm, and Lamine stayed still, 2 meters
  400. 13:59away, staring fixedly at Ferran.
  401. 14:02Another player tried to get in between
  402. 14:04and ended up getting shoved from both
  403. 14:06sides.
  404. 14:07It only lasted a few seconds, but at Las
  405. 14:09Rozas it felt like minutes. De la Fuente
  406. 14:12stormed onto the pitch with a red face,
  407. 14:14stopped the training abruptly, stepped
  408. 14:16between the two, and separated them. He
  409. 14:18told them to go shower, that his
  410. 14:20national team didn't train like that.
  411. 14:22Pedri took off his bib, threw it on the
  412. 14:24ground, and walked away without looking
  413. 14:26back.
  414. 14:27Ferran stayed for a few seconds with his
  415. 14:29hands on his hips, looking at Lamine.
  416. 14:32Then he walked off toward the other side
  417. 14:33of the pitch.
  418. 14:35Two world champions, the two who scored
  419. 14:37in the final against Argentina, leaving
  420. 14:39through two different doors.
  421. 14:42De la Fuente's decision will be made in
  422. 14:44a matter of hours.
  423. 14:46Internal disciplinary action and a
  424. 14:47handshake, or one of the two goes home
  425. 14:49before the match against the Czech
  426. 14:51Republic.
  427. 14:54Meanwhile, Ferran had dinner alone, the
  428. 14:56Barça players at their usual table, and
  429. 14:58Julián Álvarez from the Argentine camp,
