While for some like Pedri, the year of rookie in LaLiga it has turned into a dream, in order to Francisco Trincao this being tough. Nobody said it would be easy, but there were expectations with the Portuguese, who arrived after a excellent second round with the Sporting de Braga. So much so that there was speculation with an offer of 60 million euros from Manchester United, who would pay for the player before he dressed as a Barça player …
The Trincao's share has been declining as the season has progressed. Several aspects have hurt him. The first, its performance. The winger has been losing some confidence in himself, and that has reduced his chances. He had a happy moment of glory at Benito Villamarín, with a providential goal so that the Barça beat Betis. But he has done few more decisive things. The appearance of Dembélé, who has finally found continuity in his game, has a greater potential and more done, also him removed focus. Finally, the system that Koeman implemented from the party in Seville, the 3-4-2-1 with lanes, penalizes the wingers. So Trincao, who for two-thirds of the season has had more options at 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3, has appeared only in emergency situations, as in Valdebebas recently.
With just 609 minutes of play, it is logical that Barça have to make a rethinking the future of Trincao. It's a Footballer with potential and has a contract until 2025. But a player of just 21 years old what he needs are minutes, so it is logical to think that Barça, except for the sale of Dembélé, study a loan to which the player, with a value of 25 million euros according to the specialized website Transfermarkt (cost 31), I would not put too many drawbacks in order to grow. Trincao has interesting conditions as a player, but it is also noticeable for miles that the less he has played, the less he has believed in himself. Drive a good left, have good stride, is powerful and has imbalance. Failure, at the moment, in decision-making, a fundamental issue to go from being a good player to a big club footballer.
