Dembele wants to get all the love from the fans
Ousmane Dembele once again showed his best face and absolute commitment to FC Barcelona , deciding to cut his vacation in two days and appearing this Monday afternoon at the Ciutat Esportiva. In principle, the international was summoned this Wednesday, along with Jules Kounde, but the winger decided to bring forward his return, in a gesture that Xavi Hernández will surely take into account when lining up the eleven that he plays this Saturday against Espanyol .
The truth is that Dembele’s behavior, since the arrival of Xavi, has been faultless, always showing a positive attitude and an unbeatable predisposition. The forward’s ‘feeling’ with the coach is being one of the keys to the recovery of the best version of Ousmane , who only lacks a point of regularity to become a ‘top’ level winger at all levels.
Ousmane, who has been under suspicion in the World Cup after a performance that was certainly deficient , will now have a great opportunity to redeem himself, in an ecosystem that is perfect for his football conditions, since since the arrival of Xavi, he has had a very relevant weight in the offensive game of the team.
The international will have three more training sessions ahead of him to arrive in the best shape for the derby: the team will only have a party this Thursday . For his part, Kounde will only have one session with the group, specifically the one on Friday, to prepare for the game against Espanyol.
Right now, Xavi already has 16 of the 17 World Cup players who were in Doha. With the return of Kounde, who is expected this Wednesday, he will already have all his troops at his disposal. Although, he will not be able to count on the Polish striker Robert Lewandowski, suspended for three games in La Liga, and he is also waiting for Ronald Araújo, who has begun to exercise with the group, to receive a medical discharge .
