Braithwaite: Nobody trains and works like I do Barcelona Barcelona's plan is only a third of his routine

Barcelona's Danish striker Martin Braithwaite is confident he'll be able to hit the ground running when the lockdown is lifted and football resumes.

Barcelona brought Braithwaite from Leganes to act as injury cover for Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele.

He has returned to his family home in Madrid during the quarantine, as he did not have enough time to find a new place in Barcelona, and he has been following a strict exercise routine there.

"[Barcelona's plan] only makes up a third of my training," Braithwaite told DR.

"That's because I've added a lot more to it.

"I exercise my speed and my stamina.

"I train in much more detail now than before.

"So I'll be back in much better physical shape.

"I know that there is no one who trains and works like I do.

"When I come back I will be ready physically and mentally."

The Dane splits his training between his basement gym and his garden and fully believes he'll make an impact in terms of goals when he returns to the pitch.

"I have to be a starter and a goalscorer," he continued.

"When you play for Barcelona, you have so many chances.

"I see myself scoring a lot of goals and being one of the top scorers in the team and in the league."

Even the possible return of Luis Suarez or the rumours of new signings haven't dented Braithwaite's self-confidence.

On the contrary, he believes it will only help him improve more.

"I haven't shown what I can do yet," he added.

"I feel I've done well, but I know I can do even better."
