The goal of the tie of Luis Suárez in the minute 58 gave him wings to a Barça that improved a lot in the second half. The culés, that were near to lose the crash in some abysmal first 45 minutes, had in this moment the opportunity to go to by the party. But, in spite of the goal of the charrúa, the barcelonistas did not finish to believe it of the everything.
This fault of joy and of conviction is what carried to Ernesto Valverde to take out to the field to Ousmane Dembélé. The French, already recovered of his injury, substituted to a missing Antoine Griezmann, that happened totally careless in the meeting. The ex rojiblanco was not contributing absolutely at all in the attack blaugrana and the 'Txingurri' did not doubt in commanding it to the bench.
It went out Dembélé to fault of 25 minutes to try give him another air to the crash and go to by the three points. One of the first balloons that touched the one of Vernon finish in the terracing after a shot that was very high. Badly shot after a good diagonal, but already was something distinct and brave, just what had not done Griezmann in the 66 minutes that was in the terrain of game.
From this moment, the ex of the Borussia Dortmund did not stop to ask it and to look for to his pair. It was then when the Barça finished to decide , gave another step at the front and went to by the three points. The imprevisibilidad of Dembélé, his speed and his verticality helped to that the culés carried more danger by left band, what forced to the Inter to vascular to this side and leave more spaces in the centre and in the right.
Leo Messi and Luis Suárez could take advantage of of this in the action that finished in the 2-1 of the '9'. The performance of Dembélé was far to be excellent, probably not even was remarkable, but is indisputable that his presence revolutionised to the Barcelona and the party. His shots were was, failed passes and did not create any clear occasion of goal, but attained to infect his joy and his verticality to a Barça that needed precisely this.
Dembélé Gives more things that Griezmann in the left
As it is Antoine Griezmann and as it surrenders in the left, would not be a madness say that Dembélé gives him more things to the Barça that he. In front of an enclosed team, as practically all those that play against the Barcelona, the ex of the Dortmund has much more dribbling and disequilibrium that the ex rojiblanco, that lacks both things. It will be necessary to see if Valverde also sees it like this and bet by Ousmane in the eleven in any of the next parties.
