Jules Koundé will have to vindicate himself upon returning from the national team break

Jules Koundé, beside Frenkie of Jong, had been the most important player of the FC Barcelona in the beginning of season. His turn to the axis of the defence was turning him into a piece determinant and in one schemes to win duels against the rival defenders. The conversation that was supported by Xavi Hernández, on his role and the 'need' to leave the right side to be able to offer his best version, had seated him of wonder. However, since it has gone back of the infirmary, has not been able to surrender of the same way.

Against the Sportive Alavés was the last case and, probably, the most worrisome. It shared saga with Iñigo Martínez and displaced to Ronald Araújo to the right side, with Cancel by the left, and was one of the greyest performances of the player of 25 years like head office. Samu Omorodion, the one who dressed of star for the vitorianos and commissioned of inagurar the marker to the 18 seconds of party, did to see to Koundé like a player 'small' and without the class that comes showing in his last years. It became a central ordinary and to the that cost him, more than the account, sustain a duel.

And it is that, further that little or at all it could do in the goal of the player of 19 years, went out very signalled in the actions in which it touched him defend him. It won him the game more than once and caused that Xavi Hernández had to 'take part' to avoid that the Barça 'desangrara' by there. Koundé Saw forced to go back to the right-handed band and was Araújo, a specialist in the one against one, the one who commissioned to avoid that the effect of Omorodion followed 'condemning' to the Barça. The forward had an infinity of occasions, but was not hit in the definition and finish frustrated. With the charrúa, was much more content and without capacity to win a lot of duels.

Although sirivió so that the picture blaugrana carried out the party and avoided a new trip, for the international with France has been an authentic vase of cold water. It finished the clash with better feelings and less suffering, con the assistance to Robert Lewandowski so that empatara the marker to the 53 minutes, but with the need of 'react' to avoid carry a hit in the Barça. His performance against the group vitoriano was not solvent and, although it is an indisputable player in the plans of Xavi, could see prejudiced in front of the competition that exists by a place in the axis of the defence.

It is thus that, of face to the return after the stop of selections, in the party against the Ray Vallecano (25 November, 14:00h), Koundé will have to begin his way to claim and go back to leave the feeling of security that had before falling in the infirmary. The confidence has it, but will see in an unknown stage in which himself or yes will have to improve his provision to avoid that a forward win him absolutely all the one against one.
