Semedo, a side of future with the illusion of a boy

The arrival of Nelson Semedo to Barcelona generated, to prompt boat, expectancy. An unknown player for the big public, young and with a short path in the professional football -although it carries several years surrendering to remarkable level-. For many, the best possible relief for Daniel Alves. 

A label that surely will accompany him during all his stage in the Camp Nou. The comparisons between Semedo and the Brazilian will be constant, but will do well the fans in not to do it, because the Portuguese has distinct characteristics. It is faster, stronger physically but, in comparison, has less capacity of association in short spaces. 

But Semedo already is showing that it is an interesting player for the Barça. Increasingly loose, needs to exhibit more his talent in offensive matter, whereas in defence is showing a solid version. It recovers well the back and in the aerial game, although has margin of improvement, is correct.

Semedo Began shy but little by little is reaching a level of game that allow him be already title and corroborate that the Barça hit with his signing. By in front it has years to consolidate and keep growing. His connection with Hammered, Rakitic and Messi is more than evident -and still has to go to more-.

His adaptation, total

"I am very happy in the Barça, seat me as in a family and is the key", said does recently Semedo in a press conference. The Portuguese has fallen well inside the Barcelona changing room and already is a fixed in the eleven headline of Ernesto Valverde. It does not have a natural substitute although Roberto and Vidal give him rest from time to time.
