“When you get used to scoring goals it costs a lot to lose that feeling of putting the ball inside the goal. I've been doing more than one goal every two games for years, the average is very good, and not doing them is being very complicated for me. You enter a bump and you lose confidence. ” With these words Fran Sol analyzed in AS what it meant for him to lose the goal by habit. A few weeks later and in his first title of 2020 with Dinamo Kiev, the Madrid striker formed in the quarries of Real Madrid and Villarreal scored his first goal in official match of the last 12 months and recovered the smile.
“Happy to dial again,” the Spanish wrote on social media after opening the can in the clash between Dinamo Kiev and Kolos Kovalivka. After seeing the matches against Vorskla and Dnipro-1 from the bench, Fran Sol returned to eleven and took advantage of it by completing a notable game: He did not get tired of tracing unchecks, he offered himself continuously as a ball out and fired four times between the three suits. However, only one of its impacts ended up kissing the net: Carlos de Pena shot at the post and the rejection fell to Fran Sol, who first made the 1-0, his first official goal since February 25, 2019.
Before the Kolos Kovalivka Fran Sol completed the 90 minutes, something that had not happened since February 21 last year, when he gave Dinamo Kiev the pass to the knockout stages of the Europa League with a goal against Olympiacos. Since then, the Spanish striker had only played seven games as a weighted starter for the shoulder injury that kept him away from the pitch until the end of last season. “In early March we will see if I have returned to my best version,” Fran Sol acknowledged in January. It could not be more precise: with March the goal came. The 'Sun' shines again in Kiev.
After the match that reconciled him with the goal, Fran Sol acknowledged feeling “the strength I always had before.” “I am very satisfied with the work done. Now I am receiving the reward, “added the Spanish striker, whose motivation is” to score goals “:” For a striker is always important. “After being the Spanish team framed in Group 4 of League A of the League of Nations with Switzerland, Germany and Ukraine, Sol was questioned about whether he would like to play with Spain one day. “Of course, I know it is not easy, but it is a dream that I will try to approach,” the Spaniard replied.
