Francisco Trincao has quality, youth and potential to succeed at Barça, but his start to the season is not enough. The Portuguese does not take off and every time he leaves more doubts due to his null ability to contribute something in attack

Calendar of FC Barcelona

Francisco Trincao fichó by the FC Barcelona​ in January of this 2020 in return of 30 million euros. The luso, that remained in the Sporting of Knickers until this summer, went out in the Portuguese league and stood out in the Europe League before arriving to the Barça. His incorporation generated some illusion in the parish culé, that expected that it went one of the big disclosures of the season in the right-handed extreme.

Nevertheless, the first year of the Portuguese in the Camp Nou is being quite disappointing. The leading youngster of alone 20 years has had spare opportunities as to leave something that wake up interest, but in the 16 parties that has contested, practically has not done at all. His statistical data summary in 1 assistance in all these meetings, and this pass of goal could not to consider like such, since it was in front of Osasuna in the golazo of Leo Messi from out of the area after a driving of the Argentinian.

In definite, the one of Viana do Castelo is not giving the level that expected of him and every time leaves more doubts. It is evident that has a lot of quality and that technically is very very gifted. Only seeing him touch the ball one darse of the well that it is with the spherical. The problem is that his apparitions with the spherical are absolutely inofensivas for the rival and contraproducentes for his team.

Trincao Steps it, desborda and tries the played individual whenever it can, but practically never arrives to any place. It loses too many times the ball, in too many occasions gives a touch of more or does a dribbling of more, and gives the feeling that it does not know when soltarla. Besides, although it is fast, does not be used to to take advantage of his speed because it likes him too recortar to backwards even when has advantage regarding his marker.

The quality has it, the youth also and the conditions are here, but in the field the luso has not showed absolutely at all. It has not marked any goal, almost does not generate real danger for the contrary goal and is too individualista. Has osiers to be a very good footballer, but if it does not improve his taking of decisions, leaves to be so inofensivo and learns to be more decisive in his interventions, could remain by the way.

Trincao Has to give a lot of more

Luckily for him, only it has 20 years and has long to improve, mature and learn take better decisions. Nevertheless, his average of minutes by party between League and Champions is upper to the 30 minutes and has had spare time to show much more of what has showed. Ronald Koeman is trusting he, but has not given back this confidence neither with goals neither with good game, something that has to change if it wants to follow playing with assiduity.
