Rashford misses empty door, Spanish media comments on polarization

In the Gambel Cup where Barcelona beat Cuomo 5-0 on Sunday night, new player Marcus Rashford started again as center. Although he assisted Rafinia, his bizarre lack of empty goal made him the focus of hot discussion among major Spanish media after the game.

Trial of Spanish media
The Spanish media gave mixed but generally cautious evaluations about Rashford's performance in 45 minutes:
"World Sports": Although Rashford often plays No. 9 at Manchester United, this close shot revealed that he was not a natural No. 9 player.
"As": Some obvious mistakes occurred at the execution level, especially when holding the ball behind your back.
Kobe Radio: Blaming that bizarre mistake may be overconfidence.
Maca: Simply describe it as a minor mistake in a friendly match.

Helpless reality
However, regardless of the media's evaluation, a cruel reality is: in the beginning of La Liga, Rashford will likely continue to be Barcelona's main center.
Lewandowski's hamstring injury was more serious than expected and could leave him out until after the international match day in September. With Ferran Torres also injured, Flick had almost no choice in this position.

Rashford will start his La Liga career with the media's scrutiny and fans' expectations. He must use the goal as soon as possible to hit these questions.
