The FC Barcelona has found with a grave problem in the worst possible moment: Leo Messi has lesionado gravely the arm on the eve of the two parties that can define the leadership of LaLiga Santander (next Sunday, against the Real Madrid) and of the group B of to Champions League (in front of the Inter of Milan, this Wednesday).
Ernesto Valverde will have to find substitutes of guarantees so that it do not notice the drop of Leo Messi and one of them is the one of Malcom. The Brazilian extreme, by profile of game, would be the one who would allow to the team conserve the same structure in the alignments: left-handed extreme that plays by the right, with good strike and to the that likes him associate.
The Brazilian is a player of profile very distinct to Ousmane Dembélé, the most logical option of face to the following parties. The French, however, is showing an alarming irregularity that would do that Ernesto Valverde thought it to him twice before betting by him in parties so important. It is here where appears Malcom.
It is true that the Brazilian hardly has explained until the moment and that has remained out of the last four lists of summoned. But also it is it that already there was a case seemed with Arthur Melo that happened of not having of minutes to consecrate like titling in the last meetings playing to a big level.
Given the atrevimiento that had the Txingurri betting by Arthur like titling in Wembley in front of a powerful rival like the Tottenham Hotspur, neither is impossible can see as it does the same with his compatriot. Malcom was a player determinant in the Girondins of Bordeaux and enjoys of the confidence of the technical body, by what could have opportunities.
Dembélé, the clearest option
Apparently in what it goes of season, Ousmane Dembélé is the player in which Ernesto Valverde has more confidence to form the offensive trident. The French has been able of the best and of the worst, deleitando with played glorious and golazos spectacular to the pair that losing incomprehensible balloons in dangerous zones. His place is in check.
