In the semi-finals of the Spanish Super Cup, after 120 minutes of fighting, Barca lost 2-3 to Real Madrid, missing the opportunity to reach the final and compete for the title of the event. Before the game, people imagined that this would be a big victory for Real Madrid against Barca, but in fact, Barca played their own style in this game and did not let Real Madrid take advantage. It also gave Barca fans hope of reaching the top four of the league.
In this game, Barca striker Dembele not only played 120 minutes, but also succeeded in all seven times in the whole game, and created 5 chances, including 1 excellent chance. 19 confrontations, 16 successes. Dembele is undoubtedly the most threatening point in Barca's frontcourt, both in terms of the scene and the post-match stats.
Dembele's dribbling is very dexterous, and what is even more rare is that his left and right feet can all complete the breakthrough and advancement of the front. For Barca, who lack creativity at this stage of attack, Dembele is indeed the possibility of providing more threatening opportunities. But the Frenchman's biggest problem is precisely the choice after the dribble breakout. Dembele shot as many as 6 times in this game, but the quality was average. In the final grasp of the door, he still lacked the heat.
Dembele has not been able to cash in on his value in the Barca squad, on the one hand, it is indeed his own reasons, too lazy, not enough self-discipline and diligence. On the other hand, it also has a lot to do with the squad system of Barca's frontcourt. There is no one in barca who can form a tacit cooperation with Dembele in the front, and if he can have a reliable partner in the final choice of the door, Dembele's weak side can be compensated.
Dembele's mistakes are many, but as the old saying goes, it is more wrong to do more. Without Dembele's agitation in the front, Barca's attack can be said to be no threat, and almost every Barca attack has his presence. Look at Real Madrid's Vinicius, who used to be outrageous in archery, has now also been cultivated. So Barca should still give Dembele more time.
Once Dembele is released this summer, It may be difficult for Barca to find players with the same threats in the transfer market at this stage. The super high value of 150 million yuan came, and it was let go in vain, which is also a great loss for the club.
