Barcelona winger Ferran Torres has been making headlines this season with his impressive performances, particularly in his development as a central striker.
While every player aspires to be a regular starter, Torres appears to have embraced the unique challenges and opportunities that come with being a substitute who can make an immediate impact.
His five goals this season highlight his growing importance to the team and his ability to deliver in crucial moments.
Returning from injury
This success comes after a challenging period during the fall, where personal and professional obstacles tested her resilience.
Despite these difficulties, Torres has managed to close the year on a high note, showing determination and a strong mentality.
Known for his relentless approach to the game, the young striker has shown that he is willing to adapt and grow to contribute to Barcelona’s success.
“They were very hard moments because I was in Barcelona and I felt helpless for not being able to go to Valencia to help in any way I could. “I tried to help from a distance, but it was very difficult for me not to be able to be there,” he told SPORTS.
Hansi Flick’s approach
Under the direction of Hansi Flick, Torres has regained a renewed sense of confidence. Flick’s coaching style, which combines a focus on vertical attacking play and possession-based football, has allowed players like Torres to thrive.
Speaking about the coach, Torres said that the German places a lot of emphasis on fostering a supportive atmosphere in the locker room, ensuring that all players feel valued, even those who do not get regular minutes on the field.
“Flick is very close, but when he has to press, he presses. We players like it that way.
“He also gives a lot of importance to people who don’t have as many minutes as they would like. He takes great care of the locker room and tries to encourage everyone to continue working.”
He explained that Flick likes to play direct, which means he wants his players to spend more time in the opponent’s box.
“He likes direct football but he also likes having the ball. He prioritizes spending as much time as possible in the opposing half and we are adapting very well because we have players who can control the ball but also play vertically.”
The evolving role
The move to the role of ‘9’ has been a revelation for Torres. You have openly embraced the challenge of learning and excelling in this position, viewing it as an opportunity and not a limitation.
“I think the more positions you can play the better, but it’s true that I feel very comfortable as ‘9’ and that’s where things go better. In the future I see myself more and more as a center forward.”
By closely watching and learning from Robert Lewandowski, Torres is refining his skills and adding new dimensions to his game. His ability to play multiple positions only increases his value to the team.
“Flick tells me a lot that I look at Robert (Lewandowski), who in the end is a benchmark for the last 15 years. I try to be a sponge, copy him, do what he does and acquire the qualities he has.” he added.
As Barcelona continues to move forward this season, Torres’ versatility and growth as a player are proving to be key assets. With his impressive form and determination, he is on track to become a key figure in the team.
