24-year-old Barcelona midfielder Andre Gomes, giving an interview to the Spanish media, revealed that he no longer enjoys playing football for the Catalan team.
Gomes joined Barcelona in 2016 for 35 million euros with an additional 20 million euros in bonuses. The Portuguese player has not lived up to expectations in the Catalan team so far, and there are many chances that this season will be his last in Barcelona.
The former Valencia midfielder has already received harsh criticism from Barcelona fans, and he could see that even in the match against Atletico Madrid when he replaced Andres Iniesta and was booed at the Camp Nou stadium.
"I don't feel good on the field," - confessed A. Gomes immediately. - "I don't enjoy what I do. The first six months at Barca were quite good, but then everything changed."
"Maybe 'hell' is not the most appropriate word, but everything turned into real hell when I started feeling enormous pressure. I felt good when the pressure was natural, but when you feel it's specifically for you, then you start feeling differently. I feel this feeling every time I step onto the field.
There have been many times when I didn't want to leave home because I knew that people were against me. I am afraid to go out on the streets because of the shame I can feel from other people.
I became a very closed-off personality. I can't forget all the disappointment I feel. I don't talk to anyone because I feel ashamed in front of them. There are many bad moments in my mind that have affected me.
For example, when I'm with my teammates and playing in training, I feel relaxed, but as the match day approaches, I start thinking about things that prevent me from moving forward," - opened up A. Gomes.
