Barcelona striker Martin Braithwaite: No one trains and works like me

Barcelona striker Martin Braithwaite insists he won't return to club training underdone.

The Dane says he's in better shape than before the coronavirus suspension relegated all players to self-isolation in Spain.

“(Barça's programme) only constitutes a third of my training, because I have added much more to it. I work on my speed and my resistance. Now I train much more in detail than before, so I will return in much better physical shape," he told DR.

"I have to be a starter and a top scorer. When you play for Barcelona, you have so many opportunities, so there is no doubt that I see myself scoring many goals and as one of the team's and league's leading scorers.

"That's what I'm here for.

“Now there is a pause, I see it as an advantage. I know there is no one who trains and works like me. When I come back I will be ready physically and mentally."
