According to Cadena SER, Gordon said that Flick's playing style was one of the reasons he wanted to join Barcelona.

One of the players Barcelona signed to bolster the forward line in this transfer window is Gordon from Newcastle. The English player is the first new face in Barça's training and has already featured in the team's friendly against Basel, which Barça won 5-2.

Now, before making his debut at Spotify Camp Nou against Al Ahly, the winger spoke about some of the reasons he joined Barça, with Flick's presence playing a significant role. Gordon said: "Everyone has made me feel very welcome. My teammates are great, very close, and I've also understood the coach's philosophy; that's one of the reasons I wanted to come here because I like this style of play."

Anticipation for the Spotify Camp Nou debut

The match against the Egyptian team will not only be the first game for the Catalan club and its new signings at the stadium as Barcelona players, but it will also be a new edition of the historic Joan Gamper Trophy, where Barça hopes to continue its dominance. All of this has the English player very excited.

Gordon admitted: "I'm very much looking forward to seeing the stadium, wearing the Barça shirt inside the stadium, spending time with the fans, and seeing them for the first time. I hope to score goals and win the game, all of which I'm looking forward to." Regarding what happens on the pitch, Gordon believes it's very important to maintain the team's playing style: "We have a style of play that never changes, so we just try to win with that style and do our best."

When talking about his teammates, the former Newcastle player did not hesitate to say: "Everyone is in great shape, everyone is a top player, so we know what it takes to be ready for the first team." Gordon is also very grateful for everything he has experienced in his first few days at the club, and for the opportunity Barça has given him to play here. Gordon said he hopes to repay this with "many goals and many trophies."

With new signings and players who took part in the last World Cup gradually returning to training, Barça's squad is slowly taking shape. For Gordon, the delayed return of new teammates is not an issue. The last to join will be Rodri, captain of the World Cup-winning Spanish team, who has already arrived in Barcelona to sign his contract with Barça.
