Disappointment in Barça due to the little resolution of Dembélé

Ousmane Dembele He was one of the players in whom there was more hope since the arrival of Xavi Hernandez to the Barça bench so that the team could make a leap in quality after his recovery. However, at a scoring level, and being a Barça striker, he has not made a difference.

The winger has only one goal against him Linares. In total he has played 11 games (684 minutes) and has scored a goal in all competitions. Six League games, three Champions League games, 1 Cup game and 1 Super Cup game for a total of one goal and two assists. Very little baggage for what is expected of an FC Barcelona striker who asks for what he asks to renew.

In the Barça sports area, the match against Madrid has been analyzed and apart from the pass that ended in the goal of Luke de Jong, three clear occasions are counted that he had to score and that he did not succeed in transforming. It was in minutes 33, 40, 46, 53, 85 and 100. All were deflected shots except for the last one, already in extra time, which sent for a corner Courteous.

His contribution, his imbalance and his ability to overflow are valued, but as he said Xavi in his presentation “playing for Barça you always have to aspire to number 10 and in this way you may stay in number 7 or 8”, and that is precisely what the Frenchman misses. He plays well, he offers himself, he contributes, but it is not as decisive as it should be taking into account the claims shown by the player, in the figure of his representative, to renew for the Barça club. One of the best players on the team, one of the best paid if this renewal is successful, must make a difference and not settle for a solitary goal against the modest Linares in the Copa del Rey, that is understood within the Barça club.
