It is never late if happiness is good. With its continuity almost closed, and after five years in which Dembele’s earned much more than he played –it is true that the constant injuries did not help him either, another debate is the origin of them–, the French winger is presented with a new opportunity in the Barça. Without the pressure of having to compete with the Messi, Luis Suarez o Neymarsurrounded by players who are more in his vein and with the total confidence of Xavihis great supporter to renew, Dembele’s is obliged to pay the debt owed to the Barça.
It is in his hands to prove – not only out of pride towards the other teams that wanted him and have left him stranded – that he can be a top player. But of the real ones, not just from Play. Until now, the best thing he showed as a Barça player was the goal in the Super Cup in Tunisia and the second part of last season, where he ended up being the top assistant in LaLiga. It’s his time.
