Dembélé's exhibition that Xavi inexplicably 'cut'

The surprise installed in the King Fahd Stadium this Thursday when, to the hour of party, Xavi Hernández replaced to Ousmane Dembélé to give entrance to Ferran Torres. The French, beside Marc-André ter Stegen, was being the best of the FC Barcelona and the 'culprit' that, in this moment, the Barcelona were by in front in the marker in the semifinals of the Supercopa of Spain.

After the World-wide, 'Dembouz' has confirmed his candidature to be the offensive leader of the Barcelona picture and, with performances as against the Betis, has gone back it to reaffirm. It was a differential player and that did not leave to produce danger by the left band; that it is not his place in the field 'favourite', but in which it was able to shine and be the quebradero of head for the rival defence.

It commissioned to give the assistance with which Robert Lewandowski opened the marker to the 40 minutes of party, after a career and centre that achieved to finish the Pole after a refuse. Dembélé Was, definitely, the only Barcelona forward that was able to generate danger and occasions to concern to the rival saga.

It lived a direct duel with Ruibal in the first-half and until it was substituted and won, practically, all the possible duels. In fact, the footballer verdiblanco only was able to improve his performance after the exit of the French and began to dominate his band without so many problems... Because the exit of Dembélé was a shot to the foot for the Barça.

Annoyances and change?

The exit of Dembélé, that coincided with the one of Frenkie of Jong, went a bad news for a Barça that lost fluidity and capacity to plant rapido in the area of Claudio Bravo and that, besides, began to suffer the constant approaches of a Betis that equalised the marker 17 minutes afterwards, in the 77'. Xavi confirmed, in room of press, that the replacement was by injury. Questioned in case that was the reason, said: "Yes. Had he and Of Jong".
