Barcelona Femeni scored 159 League goals last season in Primera Iberdrola with formidable 148 Goal difference and won invincible Iberdrola title. But the uncertainty future of Jennifer Hermoso who is 32 years and needed to be replaced after missing out Miedema in transfer market (due to Dutch Forward signing new 1 year contract with Arsenal Women’s) is always a question mark for the club. The Striker whom the club eagerly wanted to buy for future is Geyse Ferreira of Madrid CFF.
GEYSE FERREIRA:
Geyse Ferreira impressive show in last season at Madrid CFF fetched Barcelona Femeni to buy the Brazilian Striker. Geyse was the only player outside top 3 to score 20+ goals as well won the joint golden Boot with 13 placed Madrid CFF side. In fact, shows the calibre what Brazilian striker brought to Madrid CFF last season. Most interesting fact is that she outscored current Ballon D’or winner, last season Primera Iberdrola top scorer Jennifer Hermoso & Esther Gonzalez to win the joint Golden Boot with her club compatriot Asisat Oshoala.
Geyse Ferreira is the most important figure of Madrid CFF as she was involved in 50% of Madrid CFF goals last season and without her they might be even down further in the League table. Geyse earned many points for Madrid CFF last season.
GEYSE FERREIRA ANALYSIS:
Geyse has exquisite finishing quality under pressure and she knows when to find the back of the net. As in case the goal against Real Betis Femenino, Geyse made the run in between two defenders and her eye was always on the ball.
Real Betis Femenino goalkeeper Thalmann came out of her line rushing in order to clear the ball. But Geyse kept her calmness as she had good control on the ball, rolled the keeper out and in the left wing forward she took the shot which founded back of the net and no one in the Betis post guarded the goal.
Geyse hold her position strongly and eagerly looking to link up with her team mate Kerolin and then create space for herself to shoot then drilling the ball into bottom corner. Given Geyse’s finishing quality Barcelona Femeni definitely gonna benefit as well easily rounding keepers in 1 v 1. Barcelona Femeni needed a quality finisher and Geyse will provide that.
Here is another example of Geyse Ferreira:
Geyse dropped deep to receive the ball and Jana Fernandez looks to close the Madrid CFF forward.
Geyse hold the ball strongly used her strength and easily escaped Jana Fernandez threat.
Now Geyse drives through central Space and making runs to pick out through ball to Gabi Nunes.
Barcelona Femeni plays with 4–3–3 and given how Geyse don’t easily lose the ball and use her physical strength to hold off opposition defenders to create space for her team mates as well her through passes into opposition defense line . She is young leg and can easily carry the ball forward and makes runs to position herself in between opposition center backs. Geyse Ferreira can pin the opposition defense too and make shoulder runs and her little drop of shoulder will benefit Barcelona scoring lots of goals. Jennifer Hermoso is not the same player anymore especially while coming to pinning the opposition backline.
In the match against Spain was another example of Geyse strong presence in the box. Geyse Ferreira was very strong in holding the ball as she was easily turned and spin then shielding the ball with strong ball control to slot the ball home.
CONCLUSION:
A Quality addition to Barcelona Femeni forward line. 20 goals last season and interesting to see how Geyse and Oshoala links up.
