Francisco Trincao
seems to have finally found the way to redemption.
The Portuguese, who landed at the
Camp Nou
between comparisons with an illustrious compatriot, Luis Figo, experienced a very difficult start to competition.
His coach,
Ronald Koeman
, did not seem to find the time to bet decisively on him either.
In the League, in fact, he has not yet started.
The goal scored last Sunday against
Betis
, the one that finally gave the Barça victory, however, could be a turning point.
And it arrives just in time: when theirs play their way to the
Cup
final
against
Sevilla
.
The general outbreak of joy with which his teammates received their scorer debut shows that he is very well attuned to the dressing room.
"They give me a lot of confidence and they help me a lot," confessed the Portuguese.
And, in addition, he set homework: «
I have to try to shoot more
.
The last times I tried it, I couldn't dial, but this time it did.
Even Koeman himself, who hugged him without hesitation in front of the
Barça TV
cameras
, gave him his most sincere congratulations.
"I'm happy for him, because this is going to give him a lot of morale.
I like him as a player and this important goal is a step forward, "he said.
A first goal that, hours later, curiously, would be complemented by another long-awaited joy: the delivery of a spectacular sports car that was immortalized on social networks.
Trincao, so far, has only started in some games in the
Champions League
and in the Copa del Rey.
Against
Rayo Vallecano
, he began to show some of the good qualities that led Barça to pay
35 million euros to Braga
for his signing and put a 500 million clause on him.
In Vallecas, he starred in several good internships by the band and even forced a possible penalty not awarded by the referee.
In Granada, meanwhile, he saw how one of his shots was saved by the goalkeeper and how another crashed in the frame of the goal.
Against Betis, on the other hand, he finally managed to send him to the back of the net.
Just in time to meet Sevilla in a rising moment, but with more problems for Koeman.
In addition to Araujo,
Dest, Pjanic or Braithwaite
will not be able to play due to injury
.
"There is always a solution," said a technician who, however, also put on the plaster just in case.
"We aspire to everything, but with the problems we have with injuries it seems that we survive many things," he added at the press conference prior to the meeting.
