Resurrection! The 27-year-old fallen genius made 6 goals in 5 games. Barcelona is really right, and Ronaldo laughs again

In the 7th round of La Liga, Barcelona narrowly defeated Real Sociedad 2-1 at home. While achieving five consecutive victories, they also successfully surpassed Real Madrid by 1 point in the standings, topped the list, and took a solid step towards the goal of defending the title.

Rashford, who has been in good shape recently, has become one of the key men again in this game. In the 43rd minute of the first half, the corner kick he took passed over the head of the defensive player and accurately found Comte in the penalty area. The latter scored a header and equalized the score. Throughout the game, Rashford not only contributed data on the offensive end to directly participate in the goal score, but also used active running to participate in offense and defense, which was in sharp contrast to the previous "lazy" label.

As the former British star, Rashford was the dual hope for Manchester United and the England national team. Especially in the 22/23 season, he scored 32 goals for Manchester United in a single season, playing the best season of his career, and successfully signed a high-paying contract extension with Manchester United. But this high salary has become a turning point in his career. In the season after the contract renewal, his condition declined sharply, the number of league goals dropped sharply to single digits, and data such as passing success rate and average running distance have all fallen to the bottom of his career. The doubts about "living a high salary to lie down" are overwhelming, which directly led to him missing the English team's European Cup roster and becoming a "abandoned son".

Even though Rashford's form recovered slightly during his loan spell last season, when Barcelona announced his loan this summer, the outside world was still disgraceful. Most fans and media believe that his "attitude problem" is difficult to change. Barcelona signs him just because he is "in a hurry to seek medical treatment", especially Barcelona still fully bears his salary, and his annual salary after taking the initiative to cut his salary is 14 million euros, ranking fifth in Barcelona. Therefore, there are very few people who are optimistic about his prospects in Barcelona. At the beginning of the season, Rashford did experience a short period of adaptation, and there were some scenes of squandering opportunities, which seemed to further confirm the doubts from the outside world.

But the turn of opportunity began with Yamal's injury. His absence gave Rashford an unexpected starting opportunity, and he also grasped this luck firmly. The second scoring against Newcastle in the Champions League has become a turning point. In the last 5 games, he has handed in gorgeous data of 2 goals and 4 assists, and the former British Emperor star's style has returned again. Now, fate seems to be favoring him. Yamal returns to this game and comes on as a substitute, but Rafinia's injury allows Rashford to continue to occupy a place in the starting lineup and continue to maintain his form.

According to media reports such as Romano, TA, Sky Sports, and other media, Rashford's buyout clause is 30 million euros. If he can continue his current state throughout the season and Barcelona can achieve a performance comparable to last season's performance this season, it will be a high probability that it will be activated.

It is worth mentioning that Rashford's rebirth also once again confirms the value of Ronaldo's "fish tank theory". On the other hand, Manchester United still struggled in the league even though they experienced a major change in the front line, and only scored 7 points in 6 rounds of games, and it seemed that they would fight for relegation for two consecutive seasons. Rashford, Anthony, Sancho, McTomine and others who were cleaned up by Manchester United as problematic players generally performed better after leaving than when they were in the team.

For Rashford, this season is not only an opportunity to prove himself, but also the key to rewrite his career trajectory; for Barcelona, ​​this seemingly adventurous loan may be becoming a beautiful "battery pickup".
