The arrival of Rashford cannot allow Barcelona to establish the Dream Four Dynasty, after all, Lewandowski is still the primary issue

No matter what, Rashford's arrival ultimately brought strength to Barcelona's lineup and also gave the outside world more expectations for the domestic triple-champion team last season. After all, an obvious problem is that even if Rashford's ability cannot be overestimated, for this player who still has good strength and is more eager to prove himself, he must be able to fulfill his abilities at the Camp Nou.

Although Rashford is not Barcelona's first choice for signings - Nico Williams or Diasborn are the players that Barcelona's management wants more, but the situation of being destined to be defeated actually made Rashford wait for his own opportunity.

So, what kind of high expectations should Barcelona be given in the new season?

The relative "blessing in disguise" is that without the "interference" of the Club World Cup, whether Barcelona's new season should have lost at the starting line

, like Liverpool and Naples, other league champions last season, Barcelona's 24/25 season journey actually pressed the end button in May. Even though it is a pity that they failed to make money in the Club World Cup, at least the Barcelona players who have sufficient rest can undoubtedly reflect their physical advantages in the early stages of La Liga and the start of the Champions League to establish some advantages.

Of course, considering that Barcelona currently has 5 power forwards in the frontcourt, if this team wants to move towards a higher goal based on last season, the advantages established at the beginning and the capital to be converted into subsequent round rest may be some ways to make up for the regrets of the Champions League and thus launch an impact towards the annual 6 championships.

Therefore, even if Rashford cannot expect him to have an excellent effect with Barcelona, it at least gives more opportunities to try in the frontcourt and has obvious effects on each other's rest.

But, if Barcelona finds results, or forms the highly anticipated Dream Four, the key point is Lewandowski!

Lewandow, who is about to be 37, has become a major "lifeline" for Barcelona - because you can't say that Barcelona will be in a slump without him, but it is certain that if you want better results, the importance of No. 9 is self-evident?

Has Lewandow really dropped?

If you look at the paper data alone, the report card of 42 goals and 3 assists in 52 games last season is even similar to the output level at Bayern 7 or 8 years ago. But in fact, Lewandowski has really wasteful opportunities. If he was in his early 30s, it would be impossible for him to score 60 goals last season.

But unfortunately, as the second-most-waste opportunity player in La Liga last season, Lewandowski has appeared in the list of missing major opportunities for two consecutive years - 18 times in the 23/24 season, ranking 4th; 23 times in the 24/25 season, ranking 2 second only to Mbappe.

Of course, if it is coupled with the already rough play style and disadvantages brought by La Liga against mid- and lower-level teams, Lewandowski will naturally show a decline in stability. As for injuries, the fall at a critical moment last season actually shows that the impact of age on him is undoubtedly becoming more and more obvious.

Therefore, even if the outside world can still see Lewandowski's insistence and strict requirements on himself in confronting these disadvantages, he is actually 37 years old and may be the last moment to reach the Champions League next season.

After all, the statistics of missing out on excellent opportunities are not actually a denial of a forward player. But it seems that it is okay if the young players are, because they still have time to adjust.

But, veterans, what else do you want him to adjust? When the technology has long been formed and the comprehensive qualities such as physical confrontation are declining, this may be a red flag for the team. What should Barcelona do? In fact, Laporta decided on Haaland's plan to take over Lewand very early, just as Bayern thought back then. But what is uncertain is whether Barcelona will have new alternatives after Haaland’s long-term contract is signed? There are rumors that it is Zhekelais, and there are rumors that it is Sheshko or Isak and others.

Is it possible that Kane and Yamal will partner to compete for the Champions League?

Can win the Champions League and form the dream lineup of the dynasty again, Frick must also know that only one Rashford is far from enough. But to put it bluntly, it is not a simple matter who will replace Lewand!
