It does not do too time, all the fans of the FC Barcelona coincided to the hour of ensalzar the capacities of Samuel Umtiti, considered like one of the best head offices of the world and that, with Gerard Hammered like companion in the saga, converted to the Barcelona in one of the teams less goleados of Europe under the control of Ernesto Valverde the past course, after doing it with Luis Enrique in the bench.

Since it arrived, Umtiti showed an adaptation fulgurante to the Barcelona saga, snatching the place to Mascherano and causing the course of the Argentinian course to China. Some nicknamed him the central 'of steel', when going always to all the crashes with the contrary attackers and go out always airoso, showing a big physical fortress.

The past campaign, however, began the first injuries. It was then when the FC Barcelona checked that Thomas Vermaelen could exert also of reliable defender beside Hammered, as long as it did not drag annoyances. The FC Barcelona did not notice hardly the absence of Umtiti, but this season 2018-19 the drop of the French is being longer that never.

In the breast of the barcelonismo, logically, exists the fear to lose to a footballer that promised to turn into a fixed for the defence of the FC Barcelona during the next decade, and that now could remain mermado continuously by the injuries, as Thomas Vermaelen.

The worry is latent, and only will finish if the treatment of Umtiti works, and the player shows during the rest of the season that has left backwards his annoyances. Until this do not check ... The barcelonismo will follow doubting to see again to the best Umtiti on the terrains of game.
