Ferran Torres is showing that he deserves to be Barcelona's number 1 striker. |
With a brace after just two rounds of La Liga, the Spanish striker is currently leading the scoring list, while making the competition for the No. 9 position at Camp Nou hotter than ever.
In the match against Levante in round 2 of La Liga in the early morning of August 24, "The Shark" (nicknamed Torres) not only scored but also showed his sharp goal-scoring instinct, despite missing a golden opportunity with a shot that went over the bar. Before that, he also scored against Mallorca, bringing his total score at the beginning of the season to two goals.
“I always believed I could be important for this team. When I get a chance, I have to make the most of it. The competition in the team is fierce, but that's a good thing,” Ferran said after the match.
Torres' explosive form comes at a time when Barcelona need answers for their attacking future. Robert Lewandowski, who has just returned from injury against Levante, is likely to enter his final season with the club if his contract is not renewed.
Sporting Director Deco is not yet prioritizing finding a new striker, because he believes Ferran is capable of taking on this role, and sees Dani Olmo as a backup option in the role of "false 9".
Lewandowski’s return certainly puts pressure on Ferran. However, at the moment, it is hard to imagine the Spanish striker sitting on the bench for the away match against Rayo Vallecano. The “Shark” is biting harder than ever, ready to prove that he is the future of Barca’s attack.
