Ferran Torres is perhaps the name that more complicated has see minutes in the attack of the Barça, shelving that Abde returns of cession and has to go back to win a place, by what Xavi thinks in a clear plan for the Valencian
As we already have come informing in FCBN during this week, the FC Barcelona looks for to go out of a footballer by line for what subtracts of market, adding to this list to Clement Lenglet that no longer explains for the technical body. With Dest and Kessié aimed in the defence and the midfield, the name of Ferran Torres falls by his own weight in the attack, sharing a bit the be 'signalled' with Ez Abde, of big split this Thursday in front of the Arsenal.
That is the stage that has at present Xavi Hernández from the bench and Mateu Alemany in the dispatches, having besides in account that Ferran has been already very clear in the last hours on how sees his future. This leaves a situation of 'overbooking' for the Barcelona trainer regarding extremes, having five footballers for two places, by what the Valencian could have a new role.
A goal to begin to win confidence with Xavi
Like this already it showed it the egarense in the 'friendly' in front of the English team when doing ingresar to the ex Manchester City by Robert Lewandowski for the second time, planting to the Spanish attacker as '9' in a lot of moments. Although the goal of Ferran arrived like right extreme, the idea was that the '11' moved more by the centre, alternating by moments with Ansu Fati or with Dembélé, such as sucedió in the played of the 3-4 for the Barça.
The plan of Xavi, signalled by 'Sport', would allow that although the natural position of Torres was the one of extreme, take advantage of his physicist and power so that it was available to finalise some played, especially when it have to rest Lewandowski. The Pole will follow, at least until January, without a '9' that it can give him competition, by what the option of Ferran seems hit when understanding that the Valencian does not want to change of airs this summer.
The staff culé would have a better balance
Already in the three parties that the Pole lost by sanction the past campaign, Ansu Fati was the '9' and no saw him comfortable. Ansu, as also it checked in front of the Arsenal, is more dangerous surprising from the left and a bit more retarded, by what this role of the ex Valency would be very positive for this type of stages and besides would leave the line of better attack delivered with two players in each one of the three points.
