Barcelona boss Hansi Flick has admitted that Ferran Torres is going through a bad patch right now and has pledged to help the Spain star rediscover his goalscoring touch.
Ferran has 16 goals in all competitions so far this season but hasn’t found the back of the net in his last eight matches in all competitions for the Catalans.
Flick took Torres off after just 62 minutes of Saturday’s win over Athletic Club and admits the 26-year-old needs some help.
“Ferran? A number 9 is judged by his goals,” he
told reporters.
“He lacks confidence right now, but we are working on it. It’s important to try everything in matches; he’s in a good dynamic, he’s fast, and right now he’s just having a bit of bad luck, we have to help him.”
Torres cold drop to the bench next time out against Newcastle in the Champions League. Flick has Robert Lewandowski available again, with the striker making his return from an eye fracture as a substitute at San Mames.
