The first minutes of André Gomes this Sunday against Valencia CF presaged that, once again, would not be a good night for the Portuguese midfield player in the Camp Nou. It went in to the field in the second half receiving some slight whistles by part of the Barcelona fans, and in one of the first balloons that touched a distraction did him commit a dangerous fault near of the area of Ter Stegen.
It received the yellow card and the whispers went back to sound in the sanctuary blaugrana. Also it called the attention that, some minutes later and after receiving a frank balloon to shoot to goal, decided to leave the shot to a mate that came from backwards, Sergi Roberto, in a clear sample of fault of confidence that only achieved to enervate more to the Camp Nou and to the commentators.
And, against all prognosis, the luck of André Gomes this Sunday with the FC Barcelona would change radically in the final stretch of the party in front of Valencia. In the minute 89 and after a prodigious career of Neymar Jr by the band, the Brazilian planted him a pass of the death that left him only in front of the goal of Diego Alves.
André Gomes marked with the Barça and asked pardon
At first, André Gomes commanded the balloon at the end of the rival goal and achieved to mark of this way his first official goal with the FC Barcelona, dispelling like this some ghosts in what it expects that it was a target that do him win confidence.
It surprised in first instance that did not celebrate it and that asked pardon, although afterwards the followers realised that it did it by the fact to having marked to the that went his ex team, Valencia. Or it can that it was excusing by his bad performances accumulated in the Barça this season. This only will be able to it know he, although from now expects that it improve progressively in the half field culé.
