The FC Barcelona keeps the illusion to tope by what can contribute Ílkay Gündogan to the game culé from the summer. The ex captain of the Manchester City will sign this Monday his agreement with the Barça and, in his first statements like culé, left clear his illusion for debuting in a team that follows from his youth. The international German will add in brief to the trainings, where will be able to share with some old known.
In this sense, the one of Gelsenkirchen 'wetted' on the players with the one who more excites him share in the Barça. "Robert Lewandowski, Marc Ter Stegen and Pedri", ensured 'Gundo' in his first apparition in the social networks of the club. Ílkay Knows very well to 'Lewy', since both shared several seasons in the Borussia Dortmund. With Ter Stegen, of course, also has shared in the selection Teutonic.
The society Gündogan-Pedri will lead the game of the Barça
On the other hand, Gündogan and Pedri González will play together for the first time and aim to lead the game of the Barça from the beginning of the 2023/24. The offensive game of the German can complement without problems with the one of Low tide, of form very similar to the society that established with Kevin Of Bruyne in the Manchester City. Xavi Hernández will bet by a diagram with four mediocentros to take advantage of the presence of Gavi and Frenkie of Jong, although one of the two, probably, will be acting if it arrives a pivote (Oriol Romeu).
From here that the arrival of Ílkay suppose a brutal competition by the titularity no only in the centre of the field, but also in attack. With Robert Lewandowski like referent of area, Xavi will bet by Ousmane Dembélé or Raphinha to accompany to the Pole, being the Frenchman the one who more options has to begin the season like titling if it attains to recover his physical state.
