Xavi’s Vision: Ferran Torres’ New Role at Barcelona

Barcelona’s coach, Xavi Hernandez, has some exciting ideas for Ferran Torres in the upcoming season. Despite rumors of a possible departure, Torres has made it clear that he wants to stay at Barcelona and improve his game.

Xavi is thinking about using Torres in a new way – he might play in the center as a No. 9 instead of on the sides. This idea comes from Torres’ good performance in a recent friendly game against Arsenal, where he scored Barcelona’s third goal after replacing Robert Lewandowski.

Xavi likes Raphinha and Ousmane Dembele on the right side, which is where Torres prefers to play. So, if Torres wants to play regularly, he might have to adjust to a different role. Barcelona doesn’t have many options to back up Lewandowski, and while Ansu Fati could be one choice, he seems more comfortable playing on the left rather than as a central striker.

We’ll have a better idea of Xavi’s plans when Barcelona plays their next match. And, a big game to watch out for is the Clasico against Real Madrid in Texas. It’s going to be an exciting match, and we’ll see if Torres’ new role and Barcelona’s strategies will shine on the big stage.
