The FC Barcelona has presented four new faces of face to the present season: Arthur Melo, Clément Lenglet, Arturo Vidal and Malcom. The four Barcelona signings are backed by two players that have given an important jump

Calendar of FC Barcelona

Until the moment, the FC Barcelona has reinforced the three lines of the field: the defence with Clément Lenglet (by 36 millions, pertinent of the Seville), the forward with Malcom (by 41 millions, pertinent of the Girondins of Bordeaux) and the centre of the field, with Arthur (by 31 millions, pertinent of the Guild) and Arturo Vidal (by 18 millions, pertinent of the Bayern of Munich).

However, there are two players that are surprising very gratamente during this summer and whose performance was not expected: Ousmane Dembélé and Rafinha Alcántara. Both already were players of the FC Barcelona, but seems that they have gone back with the batteries put of the holidays and that are had to be very important.

When we speak of the French, seems another distinct player to the of the past season. Of this distant player, apathetic and that in occasions wanted to do the war by his account, Dembélé has showed, in the two parties that has played, that has gone back with illusions renewed and with a lot of confidence, feeling headline, important for the team.

In front of the Seville in the Supercopa of Spain, went the best, so much by his desborde as by the golazo that annotated when the party was equalised. In front of the Sportive Alavés remained without marking, but did a very serious party and engaged with the rest of the team. It helped in defence, threw desmarques, looked for to his mates and generated several played of danger.

It seems that the one who had to be the signing crashes of the past season, will be it of this. Ernesto Valverde does not characterise for doing his alignments by name: if it has trusted he in the two first official parties is because it has seen in him important and positive changes. It seems that the French will have a lot of opportunities this season.

Rafinha, the second

The case of Rafinha is something distinct: it split like transferible in the start of the summer but his performance in the pre-season has convinced to Ernesto Valverde so that it have he. In the Supercopa was headline, although it was changed in the rest. In front of the Alavés did not play, but if it keeps the performance that has showed in pre-season, goes him to give a lot of minutes if finally it remains .
