The second most expensive striker in the history of the club lives a limit situationTo the limit. At FC Barcelona there is concern. They sold him as the key signing to replace Neymar , but at the moment it did not work.
" They have sneaked it on us, " some fans point out on social networks. And it is that Ousmane Dembelé has not yet shown anything to justify an investment of 105 million of euros.
That is the fixed amount that Barça agreed with Borussia Dortmund. On the margin we must add another 40 million as variable incentives for the fulfillment of objectives.
And all this has become a brutal pressure for Dembelé . The end already showed to be overwhelmed when it landed in the Camp Nou, where the ball escaped to him making touches.
The nerves of being the most expensive in history could with him. The club tried to sign a year earlier to be the fourth team striker. With the idea that it was growing little by little.
A year later it came to be the replacement of one of those three colossi. Registering for Barça was a dream, but the mission would have scared even the most daring.
Despite this, he tried not to shrink. And he played his first minutes at Barça with enthusiasm and self-confidence, always facing the rivals, trying to break them. But it cost him a lotDembelé: so fast as little effective
The best thing about Dembelé is his gambada , the speed. But neither dribbling is his strength, nor the technique, nor the precision of pass or kick.
After suffering two important injuries - the first one separated him four months from the playing fields and the second another - reappeared last Saturday against Getafe in what, probably, was his worst participation of BarçaJust before the second injury, a formidable match against Celta took place at the Camp Nou. Also entering from the bench, although on that occasion by Leo Messi.
However, against Getafe gave a recital of everything that should not do an extreme: lost more than 10 balls , missed many passes and slipped constantlyFrom the club they are worried. To the extent that some people consider that Dembelé could go through a crises of anxiety.
The French forward is too eager to demonstrate his potential, but he is not getting it. All that talk about the images are negative or of mockery.
And on the horizon he has a challenge that becomes ugly: Dembelé expects to travel with the French team to the World Cup in Russia. But if it does not manage to have continuity in Barça it will be difficult.
To all this we must add the ' Coutinho effect '. The arrival of the Brazilian could serve to take away pressure, but it makes him see that he has a new rival to gain ownership.
And the worst of all is that the preference of Messi and Luis Suarez for Coutinho . In that sense, Dembelé feels a bit ignored and finds only real support in Umtiti and Digne .
