Ferrán Torres: “The State is failed”
Ferrán Torres finds himself in the same situation of discouragement about playing soccer. This is how the Barcelona forward expressed it this Sunday on his official account on the social network Instagram
«We need a change in this country. I don’t have the strength today to even go to the stadium to see my teammates play. Frustration and indignation with our rulers, be they one or the other. We need the entire country to step forward. This could happen anywhere. We feel the warmth and support of people from all over the world. The State is failed. The people save the people. Visca Valencia and Viva España,” he wrote literally.
