To Robert Fernández have fallen him a lot of sticks in the last years by the signings that has made -and the balance shows that the critical are justifiable-. But also it is necessary to know recognise him to the technical secretary the skill to find players quite unknown to eyes of the big public and that have a remarkable performance.
They are the cases of Samuel Umtiti and Nelson Semedo. The French defence arrived to Barcelona with a correct route in Tie it 1 French, but neither treated of a name that appeared in all the quinielas or included in the individual awards to better defence. His first season was exceptional. Reliable by up, good exit of balloon, gladiator, effective… has adapted to perfection.
The Portuguese side has arrived this summer to Barcelona and his first days were not simple, especially when it had to lidiar with Neymar, that him encaró in a training, and did not finish to surrender in the lawn -first and second party, basically-. In the turn of the Supercopa all changed and Semedo liked to Valverde.
Since, and to exception of Vitoria, his presence in the eleven headline has been more than safe. Speed by the band, solidity backwards and increasingly atrevimiento to go up to the attack. Technically correct, physically like a motorbike. It paints to Umtiti version 2.0 by his youth and performance.
Players, no names
It remains showed, with the two exposed cases, that sometimes the signings do not have because be of players mediáticos so that the team improve or the people ilusione. Sometimes the low profiles add more and fulfil better with the expectations -surpass them, possibly-. It is that the work of the technical office. Track the market and find good options to cost more reduced -although Semedo has cost the his, but is very young-.
