The reason by which Dembélé did not play the FC Barcelona-Rome

If Ousmane Dembélé did not contest neither an only minute of the FC Barcelona-Rome of this past Wednesday in the Camp Nou, was not because Ernesto Valverde think that it is not working the sufficient in the trainings, neither because the 'Txingurri' do not trust still to the one hundred by one hundred in the provision and the big potential that hides the French attacker in the boots.

The reason was much simpler. Because, if something characterises to Ernesto Valverde, is precisely the thorough that prepares the parties and the capacity that has to surprise to all and sundry with his alignments and tactical variations, something that does him impredecible to him and especially to the FC Barcelona, what hampers even more the strategy of the rival teams.

The strategy of Valverde, very clear

In front of the Rome, bet by the "balance" instead of by the "disequilibrium" in the right band. Sergio Busquets finish to recover of an injury -although it could have recaído-, and by this reason the 'Txingurri' wanted to accompany him with three midfield players, Andrés Iniesta, Ivan Rakitic and Sergi Roberto, to subtract him work and strengthen even more the medullary against the Rome, leaving to Luis Suárez and Leo Messi freedom in attack.

In passing, of this way Valverde did stronger the lines of defensive pressure to the hour to recover balloons, and generated more difficulties to the Rome to arrive until the goal of Ter Stegen. The grey party of the group culé caused that the 'giallorossi' approached equally to the Barcelona arch, but in general lines can say that the plan worked quite well.

Ousmane Dembélé himself Will play in the Olympic

And the changes that made Valverde in the second half (Denis Suárez, André Gomes and Paulinho) leave very clear also by where went the shots of the strategy of Ernesto Valverde, with the will of not fitting goals against the Rome in the Camp Nou -although finally it fit one- for like this travel next week to the Olympic with greater security in the eliminatory.

Dembélé, taking into account which is the current marker and that the Rome will need to trace back, yes aims to be headline next Tuesday in the Olympic, with the aim to take advantage of the spaces and contragolpes of which sure will have the Barcelona for 'kill' the eliminatory. Pure and hard strategy. And, in this, can say that Ernesto Valverde is an authentic expert.
