The Portuguese lateral youngster convinced to the barcelonismo with diverse technical gestures and a big solvency in the right lane does hardly a week, but Valverde bet this Saturday by Sergi Roberto like right side, having like this of variables to change the position of diverse players in the eleven headline along the meeting, without need to make changes.
It calls the attention, in any case, that the FC Barcelona have spent more than 30 million euros in the signing of Nelson Semedo and that, in principle, Valverde was betting more than moment by Sergi Roberto like side that by the luso.
Semedo, step by step in the FC Barcelona
This yes, what is clear is that Sergi Roberto goes to have a lot of minutes this season 2017-18, when having been headline in practically all the meetings that chains the Barcelona group, so much in the centre of the field like the side.
It will be necessary to expect to the next days of League Santander 2017-18 and the first of Champions League to see which importance has Semedo in the plans of Ernesto Valverde, that sees him sufficient conditions as to triumph in the team culé, but that for the moment wants to go step by step and not to concede him the absolute titularity in the right flank of the defence.
