After understanding Barcelona s Nine battle, I understand why Frick is facing the trouble of happiness

The 37-year-old Lewandowski wanted to regain the throne, but the 25-year-old Ferran Torres used his goals and performance to trigger a No. 9 battle that Barcelona had never had before since Lewandowski joined.

With its hot state at the beginning of the season, Ferran Torres has firmly occupied the center position. Facing his old club Valencia, he has enough reason to continue starting.

Lewandow scored in the national team, but Ferran's condition was also very red. He has scored two goals in the La Liga, and on the just-concluded national team match day, he broke Turkey's goal for Spain.

From the club to the national team, his goal never felt interrupted. For any head coach, putting such a hot shooter on the bench is a luxury crime. Frick was watching all this closely.

Valencia Nemesis

If it is hot, it is the ticket for Ferran to compete for the first time. Then his terrifying data against Valencia is his trump card in starting.

Ferran is Valencia's unbiased nemesis. In the past two matches for Barcelona against his old club, he has scored 4 goals frantically! In addition, he faced Valencia eight times in his career in Barcelona, ​​with a record of 7 wins and 1 draw and undefeated.

Faced with such a super killer, is Frick reason not to let him start?

Perfect Evolution

Ferran's current outbreak is by no means accidental. At the end of last season, an appendicitis surgery allowed him to reimburse him in advance. He has been practicing crazily throughout the summer just to meet the challenges of the new season with 100%.

More importantly, he completed a key evolution of his career. He no longer sticks to his famous winger position, but instead actively adapts to the team's needs and transforms into a real No. 9 player. In this regard, his mentor was Lewandowski. Ferran once admitted that he has been observing and learning Lewandowski's shooting skills during training.

Nowadays, he can score both long shots like he did against Mallorca, and he can also grab points in the penalty area like a pure striker. He expanded the dimensions of the game with his own efforts and humility, and also provided Flick with the richest tactical choices.

Lewandow is a great shooter, but Ferran has also proved with his strength that he is an extremely reliable ninth position. Flick has two reliable centers in the next seven-game Devil schedule. But at least in this game against Valencia, all the evidence points to the same name - Ferran Torres.
