Ferran Torres, just turned 22, has been the only discordant note in Barça’s idyll with the goal in recent games. While Aubameyang has burst to score and Luuk de Jong, Memphis or Dembélé have joined the party, the international has only been able to see a penalty goal in the match against Napoli, when he finished in tears in a surprising image, since Barça had not lost the tie and he, despite not being fine, had scored the goal from eleven meters, which was his great responsibility.
For whatever reason, however, Ferran has been stressed in recent games in front of goal. Against Athletic, he could not beat Unai Simón in a clear heads-up that seemed relatively clear. And before, in the first part, he had tried a shot in a disadvantageous position. It was one of the first times he didn’t make the right decision. Because beyond the goal, his performance is being satisfactory. Ferran looks around the team; He moves with sense in the field, he knows how to find spaces, he is powerful and he associates well. He is lacking, however, he calms before the rival goals. And that is included in the price of it. So far, he has scored two goals in 765 minutes. A goal every four games is very little for a player of 55 million euros. Perhaps the price fills his backpack of responsibility.
Despite the drought, there are few doubts about Ferran Torres. The first who considers it indisputable is his coach. “Ferran a footballer of another level, spectacular. How he understands the spaces, he associates, he does not lose balls, he is of a world top level. A spectacular signing and a wonderful footballer”, Xavi recently summed up, who will surely keep Foios as a starter in this Sunday’s match against Elche. Ferran hopes to find kilometer zero at some point in LaLiga, where he has not yet scored a goal At the moment, and despite his stress with the goal, he has adapted to Barcelona without problems, he is surrounded by teammates he already knew from the National Team and he has all the elements to end up triumphing.This Sunday in Elche he wants to start by taking off a little stress.
