"Daily Sports" wrote an article praising Ferran Torres' recent hot state, believing that the 25-year-old Spanish forward has regained his confidence, and now Barcelona director Deco hopes to renew his contract.

Ferran Torres has been in excellent form recently, performing well both in Barcelona and Spain. In Saturday's game, he wore the No. 7 jersey for the first time for the national team coached by De La Fuente, and scored points and contributed passes in the victory against Georgia. So far, he has scored 23 goals in 51 games for the national team, tying Ramos and Di Stefano for the number of goals and only 3 goals behind Butragueno.

This season, Ferran has scored a total of 9 goals in the national team and Barcelona. In the Barcelona team, despite facing competition from the world's top striker Lewandowski, he still got the chance to start in many games. Since then, he has scored 51 goals for Barcelona and has gradually become the first choice striker under Flick. According to someone close to Phelan: "He is in the best shape of his career. He has performed stably as a center and I believe he will perform better in the future."

However, Phelan's career has not always been so smooth. In January 2022, he moved to Barcelona from Manchester City for 55 million euros. Although he scored 7 goals in 26 games, his performance did not meet expectations, and he even cried because of losing control of his emotions after the Europa League game against Naples.

The following season was not ideal for him either, as he lost his starting spot, often felt frustrated during games, and heard boos from the Camp Nou. It wasn't until the end of the season that Phelan realized he needed to change and decided to seek help from a psychiatrist.

Phelan described his experience this way: "Regaining self-confidence is the most difficult. I have experienced moments like this. When you lose confidence, you will doubt everything, and it seems impossible to regain the previous state. Therefore, you need to concentrate, clarify your goals and devote everything to achieve these goals. Then, as time goes by, self-confidence will gradually return."

Phelan found a way to solve the problem. In the pre-season, he started to show good form and gained something every time he came on the court. With the arrival of Flick, Torres has gained more trust.

Last season, Ferran contributed 19 goals and 7 assists, becoming the top scorer in the Copa del Rey (6 goals) and was named the final MVP, helping Barcelona win the championship. This season, he continued to serve as the main forward and performed well. The player's current contract expires in 2027, and Barcelona director Deco hopes he can renew it. Phelan himself would like to stay here. After experiencing a trough, he finally found an environment that suited him and ushered in the peak of his career.
