Barça winger Dembele's 'redemption' after Camp Nou whistles

No one can or should forget what has happened in recent months with Ousmane Dembélé. The player has not been respectful to the club, he has been dragging his feet regarding his renewal, his representative has played with the club. 'Dembouz', one of the most beloved footballers until recently by the stands, one of the few capable of arousing passions in the difficult context of Barça, completely disappointed the fans.

Once that point had been reached, the Barça leadership put the decision of whether or not to have Vernon's winger in Xavi's hands. And the one from Terrassa, who had not hidden his predilection for the Frenchman, considered that he was an asset that he could not spoil. Bench in the first 'post-crisis' game against Atlético, good minutes at the RCDE Stadium and, against Napoli, time to expose it publicly at the Camp Nou.

The game was not going the way the Barca coach expected and he decided to make use of the most unbalancing player of his. Sonora whistle at the time of entering the field. But if Ousmane has something, it is that he is able to stay away from all the noise and do his thing. As soon as he entered, he began to overflow, to caracolear and drive Juan Jesús crazy. He just needed a couple of interventions, a few minutes, to drown out the sound of wind from the stands.

From now on, it seems that the relationship between Barcelona and the footballer will be purely sporting. Until his contractual relationship ends, he will be one more worker and, as such, will swallow him. He will no longer transcend the emotional plane, but we must accept that the '7' is differential. As of July 1 he will be for another team, yes, but until then he defends the Barça shirt. Xavi has decided so and there are very important things at stake. And that balance between frustration and respect and not torpedoing the team's progress is very fine.
