Rashford.. The Effective and Versatile Element in Barcelona

The Spanish newspaper ‘Mundo Deportivo’ revealed the prominent role played by Marcus Rashford with the Barcelona team this season, despite not being a starter due to Raphinha’s superiority. The newspaper confirmed that the English player has become a crucial attacker relied upon by coach Hans Flick to energize matches and add offensive depth to the team.

The newspaper explained that Rashford is characterized by a unique talent in impacting the ball and exceptional speed that gives him a high sense of space, making him ideal for revitalizing the team during the second half.

The newspaper also pointed out that he is an effective substitute player who has so far scored 10 goals and provided 11 assists, with his ability to execute set pieces with high efficiency, despite some difficulties in one-on-one situations with the goalkeeper when overthinking.

The report noted that Rashford shows great readiness to integrate into the team plan, especially in the pressing task, and is characterized by tactical flexibility that allows him to play in matches against teams with low defense or a five-player defensive line, which gives the team more width and attacking options.

The report also indicated that his outstanding performance might open up a greater opportunity for him to be relied upon as a starter in the coming seasons if he is permanently included in the team, as he is playing on loan from Manchester United.
