Mess in sight. Phillippe Coutinho and Yerry Mina have not arrived alone at FC Barcelona . Ousmane Dembélé , who returned last week to the pitch, can be considered the third reinforcement of the Catalans in this winter market.
The Frenchman returned to dressing short after in September, in the match against Getafe , suffered an injury that has been four months away from the lawn.
The minutes played since then by Ousmane have not been stellar. It still has a lot of room for improvement. But the end left signs that the culé team has a super crack in shooting. And is that his performances in the last two games have earned him the praise of a major sector of the fans and the press. It is the moment of bonanza that the striker had been waiting for since joining Barça last summer.
Unexpected problem
But not everything goes smoothly for the attacker. The arrival of Coutinho has put him on notice. Dembélé has the fly behind the ear.
The Frenchman knows that the signing of the Brazilian is a 'requested disk' . And that will not go through the bench or in the parties of half hair.
After the arrival of Phillippe there is a greater truth: the insistence of Messi / Suarez to sign a contract that comes with guaranteed ownership.
They say in Barça that the landing of the former star of Liverpool has drawn a smile to the couple, especially in Luis Suárez who needs a new luxury 'assistant' after the departure of a Neymar who has stripped the game of the Uruguayan in this start of course. Luis is the one who has looked for a house in Coutinho in Gavà Mar , near Castelldefels , where the charrúa and Messi live. In addition , his former teammate at the club Anfield , was responsible for introducing the newcomer in the dressing room culé and in the orbit of Leo making it, of entry, in one of the new untouchable costumes.
Dembélé points to Messi
A reality that does not escape a Dembélé who loosens his tongue in private. Ousmane has not needed more than a handful of months to know how things are going in this club: Leo Messi and Luis Suárez are the ones who lead the way with Valverde as a necessary cooperator. And Coutinho is one of their own . Ousmane knows that on the pitch they feel better with someone from the profile of the former net player. The carioca is a player with fast movements in short spaces that with his game will make the couple of attackers shine. It is the perfect complement. Dembélé, however, is a player whose virtue is speed, so he needs more meters to stand out. Something more difficult to fit into the Txingurri team and that does not favor both Leo and Luis .
Dembélé tells in 'petit comité' that Messi has the last word on the team . If the Argentine is comfortable with a player, he plays. And if above is a friend of Suarez and both want it next, they will have it. A reality that leaves '11' in check. And an ugly that has come high and clear to '10' and that already runs like gunpowder for the club.
The problem will now be for Valverde . The coach must find a way to fit everyone in the eleven and not generate a conflict in the group that could explode in the 2018-19 season, when Cotuinho can play everything. An Ousmane that, in addition, explain from within has not made good friends with Suárez / Messi with whom they mark distances.
