Although at the beginning, as it is usual in him, has gone of less tomore , expects that the ex of the Borussia Dortmund was one of the pillars of all the successes that can reach the FC Barcelona in this campaign.

Gündogan Has showed participatory

The ex of the Núremberg has showed a big participation in the dynamics of game culé, although his style of usual game has seen interrupted by two uncomfortable rivals (Getafe CF and Cádiz CF) and with a physical game little generous that does not favour the football distinguished that is used to to show the mediocampista Teutonic.

Up to now, it has noticed a small difference between what Pep Guardiola asked him in the Manchester City and what Xavi is demanding him in this moment. In his stage in the group 'citizen', the exentrenador of the Barça asked him play more in the centre, with elder witnesses in the area, taking advantage of his skill to arrive from the second line. For now, the technician of Terrassa has thrown him more by the left side, something that probably change over time, since it is likely that the square of the City Condal confront to rivals that shut less in his area. Aunado To this, the arrival of Joãor Cancel to the dynamic culé, probably collaborate in this, since they would have to balance much more the actions in attack.

Xavi has moved his total confidence in the German

Up to now, the technician egarense has given him his total confidence and considers it indisputable, especially now with the injury of Pedri, where will need to a player of his characteristics to contribute magic in the last third of the Barcelona field. Although it still seems not being in his best level and has margin of improvement, already has begun to mark differences and to change the dynamics of the team in terms of handle of spaces and circulation of the balloon. His presence definitively promises to improve the competitiveness of the current champion of LaLiga and give him this plus of quality that a combined of this category deserves.
