Francisco Trincao He has not started in the League even once. Ronald Koeman has reserved him to play from the beginning in the Champions League, in 4 of the 6 games of the group stage, and in the Copa del Rey, in the three games played until the quarterfinals. The 16 he has played in the league championship have always been coming off the bench, shocking as it was a flashy signing for which 31 million euros were paid.
Trincao has become the substitute for the League. No player has acted as many times as a replacement until yesterday, between 20 and 21 played. Follow him Malbasic, from Cádiz, with 14 and a group of three players made up of Kike Barja (Osasuna), Borja Saiz (Alavés) and Sergio Gómez (Huesca) with 13. Nino (Elche) e Isco (Real Madrid) are the changes with the fewest games, with 9..
Trincao has been increasing his confidence and his game with several matches with shots to the crossbars, such as against the Vallecano Ray and against Granada. Against the Andalusian team, the Portuguese started strong, lost gas and reappeared before being substituted. It is unlikely that the technician will give you a start in front of the Alwayss and more away from home. The winger, who also did not enter the eleven of the Super Cup, came to chain 13 consecutive games entering as a substitute, being the third in history behind Pandiani (16) and Manucho (16).
