After a quite tortuous summer, the Camp Nou already has seen the first steps of the first big signing of the course, Ousmane Dembélé. The French arrives to the Barça to cover the enormous gap that leaves Neymar, and although it foresees that cuajará immediately, no him presionará in a process of adaptation that has good perspectives.
In the first place, it is necessary to stand out that although it was his substitute, it is necessary to free to the ex of the Dortmund of the comparisons with the new leader of the PSG. The Frenchman has several points in common with the Brazilian, but has to triumph with his own qualities, with a more explosive and vertical game that the one of Sao Paulo, that has a more given tendency to the creativity and the pass -without desmerecer the capacity assistant of the of Vernon-.
The main question is how will fit with his new mates and the demanding system of game of the Barça, that besides now lives a process of reconversion with Valverde looking for a new training. His tendency to the defensive effort and his good performance in a group characterised by the game asociativo already are good references, but it will be necessary to expect if his feelings also reflect on the lawn.
In this sense, the key will be his understanding with Leo Messi, one of the mainstays in the gear barcelonista by his influence, by his capacity to play and do play. If has good tuning with the Argentinian, will have a lot of way visited, but also will be important his connection with Luis Suárez and the sides, his points of stick with the rest of the eleven.
Friends in the changing room
Regarding his adaptation to the city and to the surroundings, Ousmane Dembélé has a clear advantage in his 20 years, since after abandoning the French league already went through Germany without problems and does not have familiar bows that prevent him fit in the bustled Barcelonan life.
Besides, to his arrival will find to two big friends, Samuel Umtiti and Lucas Digne, that already warned of his win to share team with the forward, in the case of the central until offering him his house. Both carry a calm life and without estridencias, and, of course, will be the best link for a footballer that has to triumph in the Barça, and has everything to do it.
