Rising Star Héctor Fort Seizes Opportunity Amidst Barcelona’s Challenges

0

Young full-back Héctor Fort has made the most of his limited appearances on the pitch, showcasing a high level of skill and making it clear that he is ready to play for FC Barcelona’s first team. With Alejandro Balde’s injury, he might just get the chance to solidify his position.

This past Wednesday, FC Barcelona bid farewell to the Copa del Rey after a 4-2 defeat against Athletic Club. While it only deepened the evident crisis in the team’s performance and results, the match served to propel a couple of players into the spotlight who had to step onto the field under challenging conditions and performed admirably: full-back Héctor Fort and center-back Pau Cubarsí.

Fort’s performance was particularly noteworthy, as he had to enter the field hastily due to Alejandro Balde’s injury and operate on the left flank, which is not his natural position. Despite this, the wingback delivered a commendable performance: he contained Adu Ares effectively, troubled Nico and Iñaki Williams, and ventured forward whenever the opportunity arose.

Possible Continuity In the two matches he has played this season, the Barcelona native has operated on the left side. However, with the expected return of Joao Cancelo, it wouldn’t be surprising if Xavi Hernández positions the Portuguese player on that flank to cover for Balde’s absence, allowing Fort to play in his natural position. If this happens, the academy graduate would encounter an extraordinary opportunity to establish himself in the team.

In recent years, Barcelona has somewhat overlooked its commitment to La Masía-developed players, turning to them only in moments of urgency, with few exceptions. Perhaps, amidst this period of sporting and economic crisis, the club can seize the chance to reclaim one of its hallmarks, and do so with players who, beyond their specific talent, seem to possess the character necessary to face the challenge.
