Barcelona star boy Trincao reveals why the No.17 jersey is special to him

Trincao will wear the No.17 jersey at Barcelona this season.

The winger likes it because it's his father's birthday, and he wore it at the U19 Euros Portugal win.

Francisco believes that he still needs to improve in all aspects as he is still young.

"I love the number 17, it's my dad's birthday. I was the European Under-19 champion also with the no.17 jersey, and it is a number that I have affection for.

My first goal will be for him (Trincao's dad)," Francisco Trincao has told La Vanguardia.

Barcelona's new signing also opened up on working under Ronald Koeman.

"Koeman talks to me a lot and what he asks me most is that I be myself, that I try to score goals. I am a young player who still has to improve in all aspects, who has to analyze his games and who has to see what he is doing well and what he is doing wrong to evolve.

"I don't watch other teams' games, I don't like it, I only watch my team's games."

Trincao joined Barcelona from Braga this summer. The 21-year-old put in several good performances during the pre-season friendlies and we might see him make his Blaugrana debut already in the match against Villarreal.
