It seems that Hansi Flick already has his reference forward for the final stretch of the season. After a few months in which so much Ferran and Lewandowski have been combining titles, Finally, the trend in recent weeks and the great form of the Valencian striker seem to have the balance has tipped on the side of the Spanish footballer which, to make matters worse, was once again decisive against Athletic Club in the semifinals of the Spanish Super Cup. The ‘shark’, Starting in an attack made up of Raphinha, Fermín and the new Rooney, he was in charge of opening the scoring in favor of his team when we had barely been in the game for 20 minutes. Another goal from the striker this season that seems to have dethroned his teammate and who has lost prominence in recent days.
Flick’s ‘9’
Four starts in the last five games confirm andHansi Flick’s change of ‘9’. The former City player, who only had no minutes in the cup match against Guadalajara, has won through good performances and, above all, many goals, being the culé reference on the big days. Initially against Osasuna, Villarreal and Espanyol in the League, although the scoring streak had stalled in recent days, against Athletic he returned to the path of scoring goals. A new target that means the number 14 in 24 games. Numbers from a born goalscorer who is on his way to surpassing last season’s records, the best of his career to date, and who is only five goals away from smashing.
last seasonFerran closed the year with 19 goals in 45 games, 19 of them as a starter. This season alone he has already accumulated 14 goals in 24 games, of which 18 have been since the beginning. That is, they are just one duel away from equaling last year’s titles. On the other hand, the Pole seems to be stagnating in his third season wearing the Blaugrana jersey.
Lewandowski, the second option
The physical problems of the first part of the season seemed to weigh down the Pole. However, Flick continued to trust him, alternating both players. However, none of that has happened in recent weeks. Substitute in the last five games, against Guadalajara, Osasuna and Athletic, he did not even take the field. The truth is that against Espanyol in the last league match he found himself again with the goal, although that has not prevented him from continuing to be involved in a bad dynamic that is not at all common for the Polish footballer. In fact, that goal at the RCDE Stadium is the only goal he has scored in the last nine games. In total, he has scored nine goals, five less than his teammate in attack.
The final next Sunday at the King Abdullah Stadium in Jeddah will be decisive to know who the German coach will bet on for the big nights in this second leg of the season. A new substitution for the former Dortmund player could further condition his future as a culé footballer. The ‘9’ ends his contract next June 30.
