Dembélé, the first stone in the new Barça of Valverde

It was the most important signing of the past summer, but by circumstances has turned into a wintry incorporation. Ousmane Dembélé Is near to go back to debut with the FC Barcelona, and with his participation the team could give another step forward to defensive level but, especially, in the front of attack.

Because without spirits to elevate excessively the expectations, and explaining that the French has to adapt again his body to the efforts and complete his truncated process of adaptation, his return could be one of the keys so that Ernesto Valverde recover the mordiente that has thrown in fault in the last months.

Very far already of the first experiments with the system, the Txingurri has assumed that the 4-4-2 supposes a revolution to defensive level, but that in occasions atasca in excess to his attackers, that could benefit of the electricity that contributes Dembélé. By his polyvalent profile, the Frenchman can adapt so much this training as to a 4-3-3, in which it would compensate a too tied forward in this start of season.

Further of the bad moment of Luis Suárez and the guarantee that supposes to have to Leo Messi, the football is, in a lot of occasions, question of balance, and the Barça could recover it with the turn of a distinct trident to the of the last times but with a lot of possibilities of success. A threat more to offensive level generates more doubts in the rival defences, something that facilitates the work of face to the contrary goal but supposes also a relief in the own.

Signing 2018

What seems clear after the last forecasts is that Ousmane Dembélé will be a signing typical of the course 2018, after the own Ernesto Valverde revealed that his presence in the Classical is quite unlikely. The Barça would have braked the illusion of the ex of the Dortmund with the promise that it soon will arrive his opportunity, and the planned date for his comeback would be on 4 January, coinciding with the gone of eighth of the Glass of the King that will take place in Balaídos. From then the Barcelona encararán the decisive phase of the season, and will be able to do it with new arguments.
