Exclusive: Paco Alcácer: I know that I have to score already

Barcelona striker Paco Alcacer speaks to SPORT about still waiting to find the net for his new club

Paco Alcacer is calm despite not yet finding the net for Barcelona. His family and friends are the first to back the player and are certain that it will arrive, goalscoring is something he has in his veins from birth. 

"I know that I have to score already," he told SPORT. "I'm a striker and I live on goals and to score them. If that wasn't the case I would be a defender or a goalkeeper.

"Forwards are judged by working hard and scoring goals. You have to take the few chances that you get.

"I'm not obsessed, if you obsess it's worse. But if you're not mentally strong you can end up obsessing."

Alcacer nearly found the net against Sporting but his strike bounced back off the crossbar and was turned in by Neymar.
