In the first season of Ernesto Valverde in the FC Barcelona, Samuel Umtiti was an indisputable footballer in the onces of the 'Txingurri', as well as indisputable headline in the French selection. But in the past campaign lost weight in the team and, with his injury, only could play 15 parties.

His compatriot Clément Lenglet ate him the toast and took advantage of to do indisputable at the side of Gerard Hammered, since in the few parties that played Umtiti neither showed to be in a state of form too envidiable. In the start of the present campaign, everything seems to be still in the same line: with the ex of the Seville by in front of the frank-Cameroonian.

This superiority of performance of Lenglet in front of Umtiti has translated also in a drastic decision of Didier Deschamps in the announcement of the French selection for the next party: the ex of the Lyon has remained out of the list, whereas the defender of Beauvais keeps the place.

Of course, Deschamps no has played it to him summoning to Umtiti, that has not played neither an alone party from the first of turns it American against the Naples -remember that it remained signalled by his defensive errors- and has bet, by in front of him, in addition to by Lenglet, also by Varane, Zouma and Laporte.

Thus, Umtiti will have to use all its skill so much to recover his place in the Barça as to go back to strengthen in the French selection. By the moment, the first step will be to recover this envidiable physical power that showed in his first months like culé. The second, is a tactical improvement that minimise his errors.

The failure with Of Ligt avoided the course of Umtiti

During some months, Umtiti was in the ramp of exit of the FC Barcelona, since the culés wanted to leave 'tied' to Matthijs of Ligt and employ the money obtained by the frank-Cameroonian to pay to the Ajax by the Dutch. Nevertheless, the arrival of the ex 'ajacied' to the Juventus did that the club culé declined the option of traspasar to his head office to the Arsenal, the team that stronger bet by him.
