In the Europa League, Barca took camp Nou to meet Napoli. The two teams shook hands 1-1 and Ferran Torres scored a penalty. However, Ferran Torres's performance was extremely poor: wasted 2-3 great opportunities to "release" Napoli!
During the winter window transfer period, Barca poached Ferran Torres from Manchester City for a transfer fee of 55 million euros. The 22-year-old striker is the one hand-picked by Barca boss Xavi. Barca vs Napoli, Ferran Torres made their European debut.
From the standpoint, Ferran Torres is the left winger of the 433 formation, with Aubameyang in the center and Traore on the right. Harvey's tactical line of thought is quite clear: Traore on the right is responsible for breaking through, tearing through the defensive line and attracting fire, while Phelan Torres on the left is waiting for the opportunity to cruise into the penalty area and play a role in attacking the city.
Felan Torres scored on a penalty
According to OPTA's post-match statistics, Ferran Torres completed a total of 9 shots on goal, but only 1 shot was on target! The only shot on target was a penalty in the 59th minute. Ferran Torres' remaining eight shots on goal were either biased or high.
Let's "appreciate" the fact that Felan Torres' various shots did not score:
Barca's quick counter-attack, Aubameyang's cross-pass was just right. However, Ferran Torres's handling was slightly delayed, and his right foot swept the ball away;
Harvey's "right-burst left-shot" tactic was well executed. However, Ferran Torres just couldn't grasp the opportunity and pushed the shot from outside the box to deflect;
Mingeza sent in the middle, and Ferran Torres flicked his head to attack the goal, deflected. Of course, this is not an absolute scoring opportunity;
In the 88th minute, Ferran Torres had a chance to kill. Unfortunately, Mr. 55 million can also shoot the push shot without anyone defending;
By the 91st minute, Ferran Torres continued to squander his chances and shoveled again!
Of these 5 opportunities, 2-3 are "must-score opportunities", but Ferran Torres squandered one by one, and played a 3-1, 4-1 victory into a 1-1 draw. In fact, during the course of the game, Ferran Torres' mentality was on the verge of collapse, and Alba kept comforting the 22-year-old young striker.
After consecutive missed opportunities, Ferran Torres cried: he covered his face with his shirt and kept sobbing. Barca captain Busquets stepped forward to comfort Ferran Torres.
Barca boss Xavi stood up for the general: "We have to trust Ferran Torres, he just needs time and confidence. This has happened to Suarez, who struggled with joining Barca in 2014 and didn't score goals for months. ”
