Emmanuel Petit, icon of the Premier League, believes that Barcelona supporters will be at the end of patience against Marcus Rashford.
Legend of the Premier League and former Barcelona midfielder, Petit is convinced that the reputation of Rashford will not prevent him from being spared by Barcelona supporters. The former French international has even gone so far as to assert that, despite the bad pass for Rashford towards the end, the affection he received from the supporters of Manchester United will go by far the one he could receive from Barcelona supporters.
The financial constraints put an obstacle to the efforts of the title champions of the Liga, who failed to recruit Nico Williams or Luis Diaz during the transfer window. However, their desire to strengthen the attack was not in vain since they finalized the loan of Rashford by the Red Devils. We initially feared that the Englishman was not scored in time for the first championship match of the season, but the club managed to finalize all the necessary steps before the match. Rashford made his official debut under the Blaugrana colors last weekend against Mallorca, entering the 69th minute in place of Ferran Torres.
Direction Barcelona for Rashford.
Speaking to racing, Petit has warned that Rashford will have to prove that he deserves the affection of the faithful supporters of the Catalan club: ” It will not be like the affection he has received from Manchester United supporters for years. If we put aside his last two seasons at Manchester United, even when he arrived at Aston Villa, he received massive support from supporters. But in Spain, it's completely different.
Small is expressed on the transfer of Rashford to Barça
“They don't care who you are. They don't care that you are Ballon d'Or. They don't care that you have won the Premier League five times. They don't care. »»
They want you to score goals and your team win large trophies. They will be happy if you win the liga, but it will not be enough.
They want you to win the Champions League, that you win all the trophies, that you are performing on the ground. If you miss a match, if you make a bad performance, you will be hué by your own supporters. You will be castigated by the press. He must understand that.
As I said, he did not give himself the best services. It is very tempting to join Barcelona for everything that this club represents, especially with great players on the field. But we wonder about its form, its level, for two or three seasons. So, to come back to a real level, I think he must play regularly.
He has to play a lot of games during the season. I am not sure that he succeeded in Barcelona, because as long as Raphinha scores goals, the relationship between him and his teammates, in the middle as well as in attack, is excellent. However, it has started very well this season so far. So I wish him good luck.«
