FC Barcelona got probably the best version of Dembélé right at the end of his contract. The French player was the protagonist in almost every game where he saw minutes, in addition to making his injuries a thing of the past.
After four years and half in the FC Barcelona, the world of the football has seen to the best Ousmane Dembélé coinciding with the arrival of Xavi Hernández to the bench, something that has not been casualidad. Neither with Valverde, neither with Koeman, never received so many indications to improve his individual performance to contribute more to the group. Of Setién can not speak because the technician could not range to the French neither an alone party, when having been operated of the isquiotibiales.
Xavi received the return of Dembélé with the open arms, conscious that it is a player that has three only things, distinct to the rest of extremes: an upper speed with the balloon in the feet, the same handle with the right that with the left, in addition to a very high resistance, able to do so many sprints followed as they are necessary during the party.
The key was in that the staff detected that Dembélé, apart from the fault of goal, has a characteristic that subtracts him. It costs him take the best decision every time that receives the balloon. Like this, the technical body culé prepared in 5 months some 10 individual videos to put duties to each footballer, in the case of Dembélé were almost 25, aim 'Sportive World'.
In each case Xavi posed him the situation, did him explain the defences that had around and agreed which was the ideal decision. Start inside, by out or dribble were the decisions prioritarias that wanted that it could define the French player, something that did that Dembélé felt very to taste in the club after 4 years of his arrival.
Few hopes
In few places hardly will treat him better that in the Barça current, but in the economic his agent is clear that it can achieve more split for his next agreement that in the Camp Nou. The attacker, when seeming, has the wish to continue, but up to now the offer of the Catalan club is quite far of what wishes he and his representative, especially in the concept of premium for signing.
