Franck Kessié enjoys of his first days like player of the FC Barcelona after 'land'in the City Condal like free agent when taking the decision to put him end to his 'adventure' in the AC Milan. The costamarfileño stepped the Catalan floor for the first time during the past Tuesday and was presented like new signing of the Barcelona entity the next day. After fulfilling with his commitments with the club and the media, the footballer put under the orders of Xavi Hernández to begin his stage like culé.

The trainer of Terrassa and his staff only have trained a week, but one of the players that more has despuntado in the sessions of the egarense has been the one of Ouragahio. It is very known that during the first sessions of a pre-season the physical conditioning predominates on the tactics, and in this section is where more advantage has Kessié. The mediocentro stands out by his physical football, his corpulencia, his strength, and his power, what turns it into a footballer with arrival and route very complete.

However, Franck Yannick has amazed to all and sundry by his good handle of the balloon. In spite of being a player with a portento physical intimidating, the technician and good touch are not absent in his repertoire and this has fallen very well in CanBarça , where already consider that his contracting has been a total tarpaulin. "The feelings are very good. It has surprised very positively", they ensure members of the club from the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper, where the culés prepare the season.

The arrival of the international with Ivory Coast represents a 'hit of effect' in the medullary blaugrana, where the technician places in front to the physicist. Footballers like Pedri and Busquets highlight by his 'magic' with the balloon in the feet, by what the incorporation of Kessié adds a distinct profile that gives him a fan of alternatives to Hernández. And it is that in spite of that his natural position is the one of interior, with the happen of the time has become a recuperador with characteristics of 'box to box'.

Xavi is his big valedor

The egarense is one of the big culprits that Frank decided for playing in the Camp Nou. "When a trainer like Xavi calls you is because you are doing well your work. No it can him say that no to the Barça. I spoke with him and it remarked me the importance that will have in his project", commented the player during his presentation. And it is that Xavi trusts fully in the '19', even considers that it is not so necessary the signing of a midfield player in case that Frenkie change of 'airs', since it pretends to give him a lot of minutes to the marfileño. Now, and with his first examination in front of the Olot next Wednesday, Kessié will have the opportunity to surprise to the barcelonistas as it did with his trainer.
