Barry wants 'revenge' in 2026-27

[Getty Images] Thierno Barry says he is looking for "revenge" in the new season. The 23-year-old forward was unimpressed by his debut Everton campaign, where he scored eight goals in 38 Premier League appearances and was joint-second for goals scored alongside Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. But Barry says he has been training a lot this summer to "play with more confidence" and follow the words of France compatriot Karim Benzema. "I didn't have a good season so now is like a revenge," Barry said in a video posted by club media. "I want to show to everybody who I am and I'm very excited to start again, first game against Crystal Palace, I want to play this game - I've dreamed about playing this game. "I've trained a lot this summer to come back and do a good season. After one season, I am little bit more used to the Premier League and how we need to play and how I need to use my body. I trained a lot for that and I'll try to put this in my game and I hope I can do it this season. "Last season I was more focused on scoring goals and I forget about the performance so I try to play more with confidence. Benzema said 'when you respect the football, it's respect the football gives you back' so I try to play good with my team-mates and if I score it's good and if I can't its easier if you give a good performance."
