Hupu News on November 15th According to a column written by Javier Miguel, a well-known Catalan journalist, he discussed Rashford's performance in Barcelona.

The following is the content of the article

"It took Rashford almost 16 games to gradually figure out the situation. To be fair, from a cold data perspective, his performance is really impressive. He participated in a total of 15 goals, including 6 goals and 9 assists. However, these data cannot hide a real problem. The England forward has destroyed the team's tactical balance to a certain extent. The reason is that he seems unwilling to actively press the ball, and his contribution is almost negligible. He always leaves an unobstructed fast lane for the opponent's full-back to advance freely on the wing. Feeling extremely desperate, he realized that he could not attack with all his strength because in the absence of Raphinha, Rashford was the only wide player on the left. "

"But Flick finally couldn't bear it. During the half-time break of the game against Celta Vigo, he deliberately pulled Rashford and had a private conversation with him. Germany, either put on overalls and work hard like a worker, or his career in Barcelona will end here. I don't know whether Flick was more severe than ever before, or Rashford had already sensed that Raphinha was about to return. In the second half, we saw Barcelona's best performance of the season, which reminded people of last season's crazy and dominant team. Celta barely posed a threat to Szczesny's goal in the second half, and Szczesny was more eager than ever to return to the bench and smoke e-cigarettes quietly."

"For La. It is a pity for Shford that he did not wake up until he realized that the danger was approaching, until he knew that Raphinha was about to return and would become the first choice on the left. When that moment came, the England striker had better carefully observe and note all the performances of Raphinha, including his performance with the ball, especially his running and defense without the ball.”

"If Rashford wants to stay at Barcelona next season (the buyout fee is 30 million euros), then he must understand that the data is both objective and cold, and lacks practical utility. No matter how much he contributes on the offensive end, if he does not actively press, then his overall contribution is completely unsatisfactory. So far, his The performance was so up and down that no one at the club's top level considered executing his buyout option. But in the second half against Celta Vigo, we saw a miraculous scene. Rashford pressed and worked as hard as he could on the last day of his life. With this attitude, Barcelona's door is likely to be open for him again next summer."
