Hansi Flick has made a bold call, selecting a dynamic Barcelona striker to spearhead the team’s attack for the 2025/26 season.
Barcelona’s pre-season tour has showcased the squad’s depth, with one forward making a significant impact in a 7-3 rout of FC Seoul.
Scoring twice in the second half, the player’s performance has not only won over fans but also cemented his role in manager Hansi Flick’s vision for the 2025/26 season.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Flick’s confidence in the 25-year-old signals a pivotal moment for the attacker as he aims to define his career at the Camp Nou.
The standout is Ferran Torres, the former Manchester City forward who has earned Flick’s admiration for his versatility and work ethic.
Hansi Flick reportedly views Torres on par with club veteran Robert Lewandowski in the starting lineup, a bold endorsement for the Spaniard.
The German coach values Torres’ relentless pressing, tactical discipline, and intelligent movement, qualities that shone through in his brace against FC Seoul.
Flick’s belief in Torres as a central striker, a role honed under Pep Guardiola and Xavi Hernandez, is now a cornerstone of Barcelona’s attacking plans.
Torres’ 2024/25 season was his most prolific yet, with 19 goals in 45 appearances despite an early end due to appendicitis.
Now fully recovered, his pre-season form suggests he’s ready to build on that success.
Flick’s high regard for Torres’ off-the-ball contributions and goal-scoring prowess positions him as more than a substitute, but a key starter in a competitive Barcelona side.
His ability to open spaces and press aggressively aligns perfectly with Flick’s high-intensity system.
As Barcelona prepares for an ambitious campaign, Torres’s emergence as a central figure under Flick’s guidance could reshape the team’s attacking dynamics.
With the manager’s trust and a proven track record, Torres is poised to seize this opportunity and establish himself as a cornerstone of Barcelona’s future.
