Messi has made it clear to Dembele

Bomb in the Camp Nou . After almost four months in a dry dock, Ousmane Dembelé returned to the starting line-up of FC Barcelona.

Against Levante (3-0), the French forward left samples of what can be. But also much evidence of how much you have left to achieve that goal .

It has been the most expensive signing in the history of Barça - 145 million ( 105 + 40 ) - for some months. Until this Saturday it became official the hiring of Philippe Coutinho : 160 million (120 + 40).

Precisely the Brazilian is the great threat to remove minutes to Dembelé in the league. From now on, Ernesto Valverde will have a very succulent range of solutions.

However, the preferences of both Messi and Luis Suarez are very clear: Coutinho must play . The Brazilian will be a hybrid between what Neymar was and what Iniesta is .

Although the confidence of Messi and Suarez in Coutinho is quite blind, as it was with Paulinho , it generates many more doubts Dembelé. Your adaptation will be very gradual.

Dembelé has to win

The veterans of the team are giving him affection and confidence, but they have not been slow in realizing that it does not end up being the Barça profile . And that probably does not cost 145 million euros .

Dembelé is a sprinter, a voracious attacker, but he is not a virtuoso. His technique is correct, not at all bright, and his ball hit does not fall in love either. Few goals are expected of him.
