Marcus Rashford continues to add to his preseason with Bar\u00e7a. Against FC Seoul, the Englishman provided his first assist.<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

FC Barcelona crushed FC Seoul<\/a> in the second friendly of the Asian tour (3-7) in what was Marcus Rashford’s second appearance with the Azulgrana team. Once again, Hansi Flick put the Englishman on after the break, this time giving him 45 minutes in which the ’14’ looked very comfortable again as a left winger.<\/p>

The Manchester player came on for Raphinha at halftime, this time forming the offensive trident alongside Roony Bardghji and Ferran Torres<\/strong>, with Ferm\u00edn L\u00f3pez as an attacking midfielder. The 27-year-old winger<\/a> had his first intervention in attack with a shot from the side that forced goalkeeper Cheol Won to make an uncomfortable save.<\/p>

Marcus continued to create danger on the left and, in the 66th minute, he sent in a cross looking for the ‘Shark’, but the Korean goalkeeper was attentive to clear the ball. Bardghji, on the other hand, did not have a good night, with several inaccuracies on the right, one of which almost cost a goal.<\/p>

Rashford and Ferran, a partnership that can bring many joys to Bar\u00e7a<\/h2>

Ferran had scored the partial 2-5 in the 74th minute taking advantage of an assist from Jofre Torrents and, in the 88th minute, he closed the scoring thanks to another good through ball by Rashford. The Englishman saw the ‘7’ free entering the area<\/strong> and the Valencian defined with a soft touch of his right foot.<\/p>

In total, the Englishman completed 15 of 18 passes (83%)<\/strong>, with a couple of shots on goal and a successful dribble in three attempts. In addition, he recovered a couple of balls and added his first assist of the summer.<\/p>

The ’14’ is doing wonderfully with Hansi Flick’s scheme, having enough space to break down the left. In addition, Ferran’s mobility is a constant alternative to associate with<\/strong>, along with the work that Ferm\u00edn L\u00f3pez, Dani Olmo or Raphinha usually do as attacking midfielders.<\/p>

Without a doubt, the incorporation of the Manchester United youth player gives much more depth to the Cul\u00e9 bench, adding more firepower to a devastating attack that already has 10 goals<\/strong> in a couple of friendlies in the preseason.<\/p>

Against FC Seoul, Marcus had the opportunity to reunite with Jesse Lingard<\/strong>, his former teammate at the ‘red devils’. The 32-year-old player arrived in Korea in 2024, after finishing his contract with Nottingham Forest.<\/p>

Rashford could be a starter against Daegu in the closing of the tour<\/h2>

Looking ahead to the last match of the Asian tour, Hansi Flick could opt for a totally alternative XI<\/strong>, giving the starting spot to most of the substitutes and reserving the starters for the second half.<\/p>

The good feelings left by Rashford, Ferran, Christensen (he scored a goal, as did Gavi)<\/strong> and most of those who entered in the second half in Seoul may allow the coach to start against Daegu FC with the players who, in principle, will start the 25\/26 season as substitutes.<\/p>

The match will be played next Monday, August 4 from 13:00 (Catalan time), again with free transmission for the whole world (with the exception of South Korea) through the official FC Barcelona channel on YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>
