Potential star already in the ranks! 5-2 victory over Basel, 18-year-old wonder kid scores twice in 2 minutes to amaze the crowd

On August 17th Beijing time, in a preseason friendly at St. Jakob-Park in Switzerland, Barcelona defeated Basel 5-2. In this goal fest, Barcelona's attacking unit shone brightly, with new signing Adeyemi and core player Yamal both delivering perfect performances with a goal and an assist each. However, what truly electrified the crowd was the magical outburst of 18-year-old substitute Bisiwu in the final stages of the match, prompting the outside world to reassess Barcelona's forward reserves—perhaps the Blaugrana truly don't need to spend heavily in the transfer market for a traditional center forward anymore.

Adeyemi integrates into the system, Yamal displays mastery

In this match, German winger Adeyemi, who joined this summer for €29 million, scored his first goal for the club. In the 34th minute of the first half, he received a cut-back pass from Raphinha and calmly slotted home. In the second half, he assisted 18-year-old youngster Hamza for a diving volley, contributing a goal and an assist in a single game, demonstrating high tactical value. His speed, dribbling, and shot selection perfectly align with Flick's requirements for forwards.

As for substitute Yamal, he showed maturity beyond his years in just over 20 minutes on the pitch. Not only did he convert a penalty, but he also completed a high press in the 90+1 minute, then crossed to assist Bisiwu for an easy tap-in. Yamal's creativity and composure on the field proved that he remains the most reliable attacking spark for Barcelona.

18-year-old Bisiwu scores twice in 2 minutes, fans exclaim "A prodigy has arrived"

The biggest surprise of the match was undoubtedly 18-year-old Belgian youngster Bisiwu. After coming on as a substitute in the 79th minute, he scored a brace in just two minutes. In the 89th minute, he received a through ball from Olmo, dribbled past a defender, and curled a shot into the far corner to score his first Barcelona goal; just one minute later, he tapped in from Yamal's assist to complete his double.

Bisiwu's explosion immediately sparked heated discussions among fans. Many fans marveled: "Bisiwu is truly a prodigy! At 1.85 meters, he can definitely play as a center forward!" As a potential star signed from Club Brugge this summer for €8.5 million, Bisiwu not only possesses excellent dribbling and explosive power, but his height of 1.85 meters also gives him the potential to become a modern center forward. He doesn't need to engage in physical battles like traditional target men; instead, he can use his speed and movement to tear apart defenses, which is exactly the "X factor" urgently needed in Flick's tactical system.

Hamza shows all-round attributes, Barcelona's forward depth is worry-free

Apart from Bisiwu, another 18-year-old youngster, Hamza, is also worth highlighting. He scored a diving volley from Adeyemi's cross in the second half, his third goal of the preseason. Even more impressive was his fighting attitude on the pitch: relentless pressing all over the field, tracking back all the way to the edge of his own penalty area; and when transitioning from defense to attack, he quickly sprinted into the opponent's box. Whether it's his goal-scoring instinct or his ability to hold up and link play, Hamza has shown extremely high tactical acumen.

As fans say, if even one of these two 18-year-olds breaks through, Barcelona's forward line will be reassuring; if both eventually fulfill their potential, then Barcelona's forward depth will become terrifying. Against the backdrop of veterans like Lewandowski gradually fading out, Flick already has enough young assets in his hands. Whether it's Adeyemi's immediate impact or the unlimited potential of Bisiwu and Hamza, it's enough for Barcelona to calmly handle the multi-front battles of the new season in the forward position.

From the "small, fast, agile" winger group to young center forwards with height and power, Barcelona's forward reconstruction is quietly being completed. Perhaps Deco really doesn't need to search the transfer market for a traditional number nine anymore, because the grass at Camp Nou has already grown its own future.
