Barcelona's many-million-dollar admirer, Usman Dembele, played a disappointing 62 minutes last night for the Super Cup of Catalunya against Espanyol. "Los Cules" won 4: 2 after penalties after 0: 0 in regular time. The French wing played quite isolated and in no way showed that it cost over 100 million euros. Barça mentor Ernesto Valverde defended his footballer. "We are happy with Dembele and it will still help us," said the coach after the meeting in Lida.
"Play well. He was trying to get into the game and stood out with individual breakthroughs. It will get a little bit rhythm, "said the specialist. Dennis Suarez is injured in the match with Espanyol, but according to Valverde, the injury should not be serious. The coach also had a question about the Champions League and was asked if Real Madrid is Barça's big rival. "No. Our opponent is Chelsea. We have not qualified yet, "said Valverde.

It will take time for him to gain some rhythm as Valverde said. The price tag, the fact that he didn't train much before the transfer and he has had a stop start welcome to his Barca career with injuries hampering any progress. All these factors have contributed to the displays you see today. But the penny will drop for him eventually.
