The FC Barcelona won this Sunday the Supercopa of Spain after imposing to the Seville (2-1), and between the most stood out protagonists of the meeting was Ousmane Dembélé. Footballers like Leo Messi, Gerard Hammered or Marc-André Ter Stegen also deserve his quotation after the first final of the season, but the French was determinant with a goal and a performance to frame.
If Ernesto Valverde surprised of start giving him confidence and planting him as headline, found with the best answer of the Frenchman, that cuajó his best split since you saw of Barcelona. His first course was complicated by injuries, a lot of pressure and an adaptation with too many obstacles, but if it is able to keep this level the youngster has a future to dream.
Between the keys of his performance was his trip leftwards, that turned him into a much more participatory player. If it does some months accused him of turn signal, can not say that in tonight did not try it all, being one of the culés more decided during the 90 minutes, although only it played 85.
In the first time, the one of Vernon helped to Leo Messi to look for gaps between the defences enemies, associating with naturalidad with Jordi Alba and giving alternative to his. It broke in speed, caracoleó and even dared with some pass, being always at the side of the Argentinian in the kickoffs of corner in the left-handed profile.
After the rest, Dembélé benefited of a more broken duel and with more spaces, taking advantage of the sendings from the distance of his mates and the frantic football that characterises him. After a shot that went out him too crossed, curiously his goal was starting in static, receiving in three chambers of field, advancing one metres and breaking the network with a derechazo that struck the crossbar.
Valverde Wants to to the Dembélé more complete
To the one who will have loved this performance is to Ernesto Valverde, that saw like Ousmane Dembélé offered solutions to his but also as it sacrificed by the team. The Txingurri pretends that the ex of the Borussia Dortmund was a more complete extreme, and his defensive requirements also answered them the French going down in more than an occasion to cover the rises of Jordi Alba.
It is clear that this is only a principle, but is for seeing if after a summer with World-wide but calmer, the youngster can settle in the Barça physical, mental and futbolísticamente. This year it has the advantage to having made a pre-season in conditions, and seeing as it has premièred , can mark the difference.
