“Dembélé is a great professional, he is exemplary”

Xavi Hernandez has Ousmane Dembele. The Barça coach settled the controversy and the case when he took him out in the match at the Camp Nou against Naples in the final stretch of the game and received the whistles first and the applause after the stands. With that he ended the discussion. The French striker is one more in the squad until the end of his contract and he also made it clear in the press conference prior to the visit to the Neapolitan team.

“Ousmane Contract ends in June. I see him happy and he has been a great professional. I haven’t had a single problem with him. I have heard of everything. Knowing that he was not summoned, he has been a professional. He is taking care of himself, he trains well and he is positive with the group. That is why we have decided that he should play with the team,” he explained, appealing repeatedly to his good work. “If he had been a bad professional, it would be something else. Let’s see what happens between now and the end of the season. He is a footballer that I like”, he added, without considering whether he had made a mistake when leaving him out of the important Copa del Rey match against Athletic.
