What happened to Ferran Jutgla?
Xavi Hernandez, in a time of storm, still without signings and with important injuries like Memphis Depay, looked at the youth academy and found in it a promising attacker, who was amazed. In six league games with the first team, he scored one goal. We must also add the Cup, decisive for Barcelona to go through the round against Linares. But his numbers, brilliant for a kid with a recent debut in the elite, did not show his great capacity for movement and association, his versatility to play up front or on the left wing and his magnificent willingness to work and pressure that so dazzled the current coach of the Camp Nou. However, Ferran, Adama, Aubameyang appeared and other men recovered from the attack such as Ousmane Dembele and the former Espanyol disappeared completely from the calls. A forgot that, of course, there will be many offers in the next market. It is not for less, since he is one of the candidates for player of the year in the RFEF First Division and the direct responsible for Barcelona being, today, in Playoff positions for promotion to Second Division.
The details
He has only been left unmarked against Castilla, Nastic and Cornella. Yes, of 14 games, he has scored in eleven. A total of 14 targets. In the last six duels, he has always celebrated and that has led to five wins and one loss for his team. Even on a black day, like that of Atletico Baleares, he managed to score a brace in the fall by six goals to two on the island. Decisive goals against Betis, Balompedica Linense, Villarreal B or San Fernando, where he also provided an assist . This season, he has accumulated twenty goals and five assists in 38 games played. He arrived late to the subsidiary, he is already 23 years old, but his performance is beyond doubt. He scores high caliber goals, he always has the goal between his eyebrows, he faces and strikes, he has a clear tendency to lead… But under Klopp, Divock began to play: it all started with a hat-trick in the League Cup against Southampton, and in the spring Origi scored in both matches against Borussia Dortmund. In England, then they compared him with Robert Lewandowski – and wondered if the Belgian could grow into a super forward. He did not lay down goals in batches, but he really woke up at the right time. And there were so many of those moments.
Season 2015/16. Liverpool 2-2 West Brom
One of the most important matches in Klopp’s first season. At home, they were losing 1:2 by the 90th minute, the fans were drawn to the exit, and Jurgen himself was sad on the edge. Origi uncovered his cannon in the 96th minute – and Klopp led the players to thank the fans. At first, all of England laughed that Liverpool were celebrating a draw against West Brom, but in a couple of years this moment would be called one of the defining moments – Jurgen then united the team and the fans, the stands were no longer empty until the final whistle. The great victories of the “Reds” could not have been without a long-range strike by Origi.
