It touch of attention of Valverde to Dembélé in the Tottenham-Barça

Ernesto Valverde did several change in the alignment for the crucial party of Champions League that the FC Barcelona contested in Wembley against the Tottenham Hotspur. Two of them were forced by the injuries of Sergi Roberto and Samuel Umtiti, that were substituted by Nelson Semedo and Clément Lenglet, respectively, in the eleven initial.

The third change made by the Txingurri remained far to be by obligation, but it was by technical decision. Or, maybe, for giving him a touch of attention to one of the players that better started the season but that had two very toneless performances in the duels suspender belts against the Leganés and the Athletic Club: Ousmane Dembélé.

Valverde Opted for seating in the bench to the French extreme and bet, in his place, by Arthur Melo, with the aim to reinforce the control of the centre of the field with a man that ensures possession. Dembélé Was the sacrificed, since it is not giving the size in the last week, although it also is an important weapon going out from the bench.

Dembélé Has been an entirely key player in the start of season for the FC Barcelona. The goals that has marked the French extreme gave the Supercopa of Spain in his moment and also points in LaLiga Santander. In spite of this, did not have good performances in the last parties and Ernesto Valverde preferred to teach him that it can not sleep, in spite of his big qualities.

Arthur: the bet by the control

As we already have commented, it can not speak of the absence of Ousmane dembélé without doing it also of the presence of Arthur Melo. Ernesto Valverde is conscious that, when something does not go well, it is necessary to touch keys to give with the correct. The bet by the mediocentro Brazilian was to add more control in the medullary.

Arthur is a player of technical profile, with big capacity to take out the balloon played from defensive positions, although also with talent to generate danger in the line of three chambers, so much with his vision for the last pass as by his good strike from out of the area. It expects that it was an important player.
