"Ferran? A number 9 is judged by his goals. He lacks confidence right now, but we are working on it. It's important to try everything in matches; he's in a good dynamic, he's fast, and right now he's just having a bit of bad luck, we have to help him."
"Ferran has 16 goals in all competitions so far this season but hasn't found the back of the net in his last eight matches in all competitions for the Catalans. Flick took Torres off after just 62 minutes of Saturday's win over Athletic Club and admits the 26-year-old needs some help."
Ferran Torres, Barcelona's 26-year-old Spanish forward, is currently struggling with a lack of goals, having failed to score in his last eight matches across all competitions despite accumulating 16 goals this season. Manager Hansi Flick substituted Torres after 62 minutes during Barcelona's recent victory over Athletic Club, acknowledging the striker's difficult period. Flick emphasized that forwards are evaluated primarily by their goal output and noted that Torres is experiencing a confidence crisis rather than a performance decline. The manager highlighted that Torres remains quick and dynamic but is suffering from bad luck. Flick pledged to provide support to help Torres overcome this challenging phase. With Robert Lewandowski returning from an eye fracture, Torres may face reduced playing time in the upcoming Champions League match against Newcastle.
