CESC WAS BARÇA'S LAST AVERAGE GOAL SCORE
The scoring role of Fermín López, 'unknown' at Barça
Fermín López has had a great season at FC Barcelona that has earned him inclusion in the pre-list of the Spanish national team for this summer's Euro Cup. There are 11 goals with the culés, a figure that he had not achieved in the last ten years.
Fermín López has been one of the big irruptions in the FC Barcelona in this season, without place to doubts. Unlike his mates in The Masia, Pau Cubarsí or Lamine Yamal, has not been an indisputable headline in the Barcelona group and has had to 'litigate' for winning the minutes. It has fulfilled with all the expectations and has turned into the maximum second goleador of the team, with 11 targets, the same that Ferran Torres and only by behind Robert Lewandowski.
The last target arrived against the Seville, in Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán. It received a big pass of Ílkay Gündogan when it was in the left corner of the area hispalense, recortó to inside and commanded a powerful shot in which at all it could do Nyland before colara the ballón by the strain of the left-handed stick. In 43 parties (1.947 minutes), participated in a goal each 162,25 minutes. To put it in context, Lewandowski (26 targets and nine assistances in 3.800') participated in one each 108,57'.
Fermín has been a big solution for the Barça by his capacity to appear from second line and his good shot from long distance. It is a 'resource' that Xavi Hernández knew to explode since him 'discovered' in pre-season after his return of the cession in Linares. It has finished being one of the most promising footballers of the team and 'won' a place in the prelista of summoned of Spain for the Eurocopa of this summer. It will be the first time that travel with the absolute selection, in case to remain in the definite list.
A role that did not repeat ... From ten years ago
The true is that in the Barça has surprised gratamente by his impact goleador, especially. It does not be necessary to overlook, as they remember from Sportive World, that from Cesc Fàbregas there was not a half 'pure' that participated in so many goals like Fermín López. In his three seasons in the Barça, signed 15, 14 and 13 targets, although in a very different context because it played in a lot of opportunities like false nine and came to be one of the referents in the Arsenal. The one of The Campillo, by the contrary, is living his first course in the elite.
There are other players, as it Burn Turán or Philippe Coutinho, that in spite of being midfield players, in paper, played almost like attackers and could not surpass the 13 or 11 goals by course, whereas Paulinho remained in nine and Rakitic never reached the ten so many by course. A detail that leaves in value the big impact that is having Fermín in the Barça, also in the statistics.
