Barça missed in Vitoria the imbalance of Dembélé and Fati, their two most talented strikers, as similar as they are different. While the club awaits the response of both on Monday, a goal by Frenkie de Jong prevented the team and the fans from being as frozen as the field.
Seeing the lack of offensive imbalance in Vitoria, many ‘culés’ must have missed not only Ansu Fati but even to Ousmane Dembele, two players as similar as they are different. Young and fast, injuries have battered the two most talented strikers in the Barça squad. Having both a brutal potential, when the youth squad has been on the pitch it has almost always been decisive. Contrary to the second most expensive signing ‘culé’, which is no longer that he doesn’t have the same idyll with the goal (only one, and against Linares, this season), but rather that he doesn’t seem to understand what he should do at Barça . Not only on the field, but off it.
“Unfortunately I am having to live the worst part of football, but I will never give up! Thank you very much for your messages of support and affection!” Ansu wrote on Instagram, the same network in which Ousmane launched a much less message on Friday loving: “surely love is a variant of blackmail & rdquor ;.
If Fati renewed in the summer, rejecting offers from big clubs, the French winger has been dribbling the technical secretariat ever since. The refusal to renew left him without the first flight of the week to the Basque Country, where Ansu saw his leg crack again. As Xavi already made it clear that he would not have the French striker against Alavés either, Ousmane decided to stay at home and not go to the sports city. “Dembélé did not appear this morning at the Ciudad Deportiva Joan Gamper, as scheduled, due to gastric indisposition,” explained Barça. One more step in the escalation of tension between the club and the player.
Xavi awaits the decisions of Ansu and Ousmane this Monday. The first will communicate if it is operated or not. In case of going through the operating room, he will say goodbye to the season. Without him, Morata is even more essential for the Barcelona coach. But for this, Barça would need not only Juventus to agree to part with the striker owned by Atlético, but also to lighten the famous financial ‘fair play’. The best formula for the club would be with the departure of Dembélé, but although from his surroundings it was pointed out that there will be new meetings starting Monday to try to renew, Ousmane’s act of indiscipline does not exactly feed the idea of a friendly agreement.
