Barcelona coach is not averse to people! Rashford was replaced in the first half: only 1 shot, 6.2 points dragging his legs

On August 24, Barcelona played against Levante, but the La Liga giant almost got upset. Fortunately, they finally reversed their final opponent 3-2 and ushered in two consecutive victories this season. In this game, Rashford also started, which was his first start in La Liga after joining Barcelona on loan. Unfortunately, this former Manchester United genius failed to seize the opportunity to prove himself. In this game, Frick adjusted the starter, Rafinia was arranged to play in the middle and gave it to Rashford on the left. Although it was a away game, Levante was just a promoted player and his strength was not very strong. Obviously, Frick also hopes to use this to investigate Rashford, but he disappoints everyone.
In the 4th minute, Rashford took a corner kick from the left. After being cleared by the opponent, Rashford got the ball again on the left, and then he broke through and broke into the penalty area and pushed the shot at a small angle, which was resolved by the goalkeeper. In this attack, Rashford showed some of his abilities. His strong body and speed made it difficult for the La Liga defender to adapt for a while. Unfortunately, near the bottom line, Rashford lacks a big picture view. With almost no angle, Rashford also forced a shot. If he could pass the ball, his teammates would have a great chance to score.
In the middle, Barcelona's teammates had already been in line to prepare for the response, but Rashford still chose to shoot himself. He might have wanted to prove himself too much, but the result was backfired. Unfortunately, this is also Rashford's only one chance to perform. After that, he was lost again on the court, completely away from Barcelona's offensive system. In addition, Barcelona was scored 2 goals by their opponents in the first 45 minutes, so Rashford was replaced at the beginning of the second half.
According to statistics, Rashford, who played for 45 minutes, had only 1 shot, and the expected goal value was only 0.03. In addition, Rashford did not create any good opportunities on the wing, so Flick resolutely replaced him after halftime. Rashford, who played for halftime, scored 6.2 points after the game, which was the lowest score in the team. On the court, Rashford did drag the team down.
In fact, after adjusting the lineup in the second half, Barcelona's offense did improve significantly. The La Liga giants started the second half shortly after just 3 minutes, and Pedri and Ferran Torres scored, and the score was 2-2 early. In stoppage time, Yamal created an own goal from the opponent through a cross, and eventually helped Barcelona reverse the opponent 3-2.
I have to say that the Barcelona coach's substitution is indeed too decisive. Frick is definitely not used to it. He will not waste the interests of the entire team in order to give the players face. Only players who perform well are worthy of staying on the court. From this point of view, Frick is indeed courageous. For Rashford, he wants to conquer the coach and fans and strive to continue to stay in the team after the season is over. He has to work harder. In Barcelona, Rafinia is the absolute main force on the left. In terms of personal ability, he is not much better than Rashford, but Rafinia pays more attention to cooperating with the whole team. His running position and shooting ability are much better than Rashford. If Rashford can learn from Rafinia well, he may have hope of transformation!
