Barca drew with Eintracht Frankfurt
Whether Dembele plays or starts or not has become a weather vane for Barca to play a good game, and its decisive role in the offensive line has become more and more obvious recently, and this round of the Europa League is the team's assist king substitute to participate in the creation of goals, inspiring the team to a new look, from passive beatings to almost reversals.
Barcabao is unbeaten in 14 games, from being beaten to besieging only because of 1 substitution
Harvey led the team unbeaten in 14 games
Away to Frankfurt, Xavi did not retain much, only allowing Eric Garcia and Adama Traore to rotate, the former is still because Alves did not sign up for European competition, Mingeza can not be used Dester and injured, Araujo must defend the right side. However, unlike the previous round of La Liga's victory over Sevilla, most of this battle was restrained by Eintracht Frankfurt, even 0 shots in the first half, no scoring opportunity, the defensive gate Pique was injured in front, Dort's old Knauf world wave broke the net, if it were not for the VAR review to deny the referee's penalty, barca's situation would be more precarious.
Substitutions are key to equalizing
Barca can take a draw, 11 wins, 3 draws, nearly 14 unbeaten, the turning point stems from Xavi's timely substitution, while sending Dembele de Jong, it is the former who cuts in time on the right side to send a straight plug, and the latter equalizes with Felan Torres's continuous kicks against the wall, which is only 4 minutes after the two came on. Barca then took full control of the pitch, Pedri caused Tuta to be red, and the former "Light of the Bundesliga" had to struggle for a draw in the last minute, and the role of the first 45 minutes belonged to the away team. De Jong lamented that "Dembele is a special player who can make something out of nothing", and Ferran also said: "He should be left anyway." ”
Dembele orchestrated the goal
Whether the team played or not, dembele has lost its Zema-style pillar
In the first half, he was passively beaten, and after the substitution, he was completely suppressed
There is a consensus on the two levels of Real Madrid's strength, without him Carlo Ancelotti's team was swept by Barca by 4 goals, and scored 5 goals in two games after the comeback, leading the team to win the defending Champions League. Barca also have a goal scoring rate comparable to Aubameyang (club career 573 to 297 goals, Benzema 595 games 316 goals), but unlike Real Madrid No. 9, which can support the entire attack system in a comprehensive technical way, the Gabon international is basically only responsible for the final attack, and has scored 0 goals in 200 minutes, whether Barca can play a creative attack, or whether it can play a good goal, depends on whether Dembele Pedre plays, especially the former, the impact on the offensive line has become more and more obvious.
He has handled 7 of Barca's last 11 assists
This campaign is actually Dembele's most recent low-profile match, no assists, and in the previous 13 La Liga games, he has delivered 10 times, including 8 assists in the last 6 rounds, and Barca players have assisted in the past 11 assists. Last weekend Barca beat Sevilla by 1 goal, Dembele made seven key passes, three more than the away team in La Liga, and won two games in the world war and four goals over Osasuna, and two assists in the first half. Once he was sidelined, Barca had no energy in the front court, and before his debut, all possible goals were threatened by the attack of the home team, Lindström almost changed the score to 2-0 with a close-range shot, the last two games Galatasaray did not start, Barca first game 0-0 at home, the second round of the first half to concede the first half of the Turkish Super League 12th, two second half Dembele came out before returning to the giants.
Approaching No. 1 in La Liga assists
Why is the thorn head that can hardly be retained irreplaceable
Dembele's characteristics are rarely available for other wingers, the pace is fast and slow, and the left and right feet can pass and shoot well, whether it is a side cross or an internal cut in the middle of the road, the accuracy of the timely direct plug is guaranteed. Other players have their own most accustomed way of passing, such as Busquets love to pick up the pass behind, Alva prefers inverted triangle knockback, Pedri is accustomed to a wide range of transfers, but the Frenchman not only has a variety of passing methods and often penetrates, which is what other Barca players after Messi Neymar can't do, making it difficult for opponents to find effective staring routines, not to mention that he also has a speed advantage, straight-line acceleration is not weaker than Adama, the accuracy of the cross is more memorable for the latter, this battle Adama 8 times to try 1-on-1 breakthrough, can shoot and key passes are hanging 0.
Adama's two key figures are 0
In the past, frequent injuries, too many goals conceded in the field and other issues, to the contract year seems to be solved one by one, the status and role of the team naturally more prominent, only then did Laporta's "Dembele better than Mbappe" wild words. The executives were going to send them away during the winter break, but they couldn't find a buyer who was willing to spend money, Xavier ignored the suggestion that the management wanted to put it on the shelf, and Barca jumped from 9th to 2nd in the second half of the year (1st in 14 consecutive league games unbeaten in the five major leagues), which was inseparable from the decision of the young marshal to help him to the main position. After Dembele expressed his willingness to stay in the team, This week Alemani restarted negotiations with his agent at the urging of Xavi, but the 3-hour negotiations were fruitless, and the asking price of 40 million euros before tax was not discounted, which is an offer that Barca will never agree to. Therefore, the more prominent Dembele's performance, the more difficult it is for Barca to retain, unless the players give in, the probability of a summer breakup is still infinitely close to 100%.
Ferran thought Barca should leave Dembele with all their might
