Chapter 89 Confused Dembélé
Spain, Barcelona.
The Spanish national derby is about to come, and the whole city of Barcelona has become boiling.
As the most popular derby in La Liga, the confrontation between Barcelona and Real Madrid has always attracted worldwide attention.
In the face of this crucial game, Barcelona and Real Madrid are also going all out.
Every national derby is extremely hot.
And welcoming this national derby, Dembélé is also extremely excited.
"Hey! The coach notified me to prepare for the game, and I may start!"
Dembélé excitedly expressed his feelings to the agent.
However, the agent's expression was not so good. After all, he had just met with Barcelona's senior management and coaching staff.
They discussed the issue of renting Dembélé.
Of course, this is not something that can be said now, at least not today.
After all, Dembélé may still change his fate through this game.
"Come on! Kid!"
The agent patted Dembélé's shoulder hard.
Dembele looked at his agent inexplicably. After all, unlike his usual indifference, his agent at this moment felt a little angry.
But he didn't think much about it, quickly packed his luggage, and then happily embarked on the journey.
"What a crazy game this is. The game lasted 60 minutes and the score between the two sides was 4:4. Barcelona and Real Madrid showed an amazing offensive battle in this game!"
"Both sides relied on their midfield to advance, and no shooter completed the final shot!"
"The game is not over yet, and the two sides have scored a total of eight goals!"
"And in this game, Messi completed a hat trick. Messi defended the glory of the home court with his outstanding performance"
In the exciting voice of the commentator on the scene, the cheers of 100,000 Barcelona fans filled the entire stadium.
The explosion scene was shocking.
And the game in the stadium was also extremely fierce.
It is worthy of being the Spanish national derby. The confrontation between the two sides is extremely tough and full of gunpowder.
Here, Ramos just finished the foul on Messi, and Suarez returned a sliding tackle on the other side.
Benzema and Pique had a conflict, and the two sides almost fought.
In such an atmosphere, this game has become the focus of the world.
And in this heated situation, Barcelona's substitutes.
Dembele stared at the field in a daze, and he kept looking at the time and the head coach in front of him.
It was almost 70 minutes, but Valverde had no intention of calling him to play.
This is the national derby, and the situation is so stalemate. Dembele, who is full of energy, believes that he can create more opportunities for Barcelona.
Valverde seemed to have forgotten him, and there was no movement at all.
Dembele's eyes were full of strong expectations, almost shooting through Valverde's back.
'You promised! You will let me play! You promised! '
Dembele's eyes became resentful and lost.
He knew that with 70 minutes, the probability of his appearance became smaller.
In the 80th minute, Valverde still did not make any movement.
At this time, there was a sudden loud cheer from the stands.
Messi climbed up from the penalty area of Real Madrid and rushed to the corner area.
The ball was already lying quietly in the goal of Real Madrid.
A lore!
Barcelona led Real Madrid 5:4.
They took the lead!
Now, the entire Camp Nou became even more heated.
At this time, Valverde turned around and shouted; "Dembele, get ready to play."
Dembele stood up silently, with a hint of helplessness in his expression.
Soon, Messi left the court amid fierce applause.
Watching Messi walk towards him in the applause of the whole audience, Dembele's heart was also extremely complicated.
Is there any point in playing at this time?
Sure enough, Dembele didn't even sprint a few times before the game was over.
The final score was fixed at 5:4, and Barcelona won the game.
Dembele was on the court for a few minutes before leaving the court.
Valverde really fulfilled his "promise"!
However, Dembele was extremely unwilling in his heart.
He didn't ask for the starting position, but at least give him enough playing time!
What's the point of playing for 80 minutes?
He wanted more playing time!
There was a jubilation in the Barcelona locker room.
"Oh oh oh~~~ We beat Real Madrid! We won~~~~"
"Long live! Barcelona!"
Barcelona's players jumped and celebrated excitedly.
The victory of this national derby gave them a great morale bonus.
Everyone's face was engraved with excitement.
Only Dembele looked a little lost, but no one paid attention to this.
"Hey! Believe me, you will get more opportunities!"
Dembele was sitting on the bench changing clothes, and Messi suddenly came over and patted Dembele on the shoulder to encourage him.
In fact, Messi knew Dembele's feelings very well.
At such a wolf-like age, with such technical support, he had to sit on the bench.
Even Messi couldn't accept it if he put himself in his shoes.
But Messi couldn't take the initiative to play as a substitute for this. It can only be said that there is no solution.
Dembele forced a smile.
He understood that Messi was showing him goodwill, but this goodwill was even more disappointing.
In the evening, Dembélé returned to his residence in Barcelona.
His steps were a little shaky, and he was in low spirits.
He didn't even turn on the light, walked to the sofa in the living room in the dark, sat down, and just stared blankly.
From Dortmund to Barcelona.
Dembélé has gained a lot, but also lost a lot.
He got a higher salary, better treatment, and greater fame.
But at the same time, he also lost a healthy body, game time, and recognition of his ability.
When he was in Dortmund, he became a new generation of thigh player for Dortmund as a substitute for Aubameyang.
He even became the most dazzling presence in the Champions League that year.
For this, he won the favor of Barcelona and came here for better goals and dreams.
But the entire 2017/2018 season was a nightmare.
He made his debut in Barcelona, with an assist, and showed good performance and results.
But soon, he suffered an injury and had to rest.
Then there will be a long career as a substitute.
Dembele can tolerate being a substitute, and he is willing to be Messi's substitute, but at least he should be given enough playing time, instead of being left on the bench like now.
He needs games to maintain his form, and he needs games to make progress.
He doesn't want to spend this best time on the bench.
But there is no way to do this, because he is competing with Messi for the starting lineup.
That's Messi!
Kacha!
The door opened.
"Why don't you turn on the light?"
The agent walked in, turned on the light, and looked at Dembele, who was sitting alone on the sofa.
At this time, Dembele was no longer as high-spirited as before, and he was like a wronged child.
The agent felt distressed, so he walked to the opposite side and sat down, and said with a little organization; "One good news, one bad news."
Dembele looked up at the agent and said; "Hear the good news first, there are already enough bad news."
The agent nodded and said; "Arsenal is interested in you!"
This sentence stunned Dembele.
"Arsenal?"
This is definitely good news.
After all, it is not an exaggeration to say that Arsenal has become the strongest club in the world.
And this team is actually interested in him.
Dembele remembers that in the Champions League match against Arsenal, he did not have much playing time in both rounds.
Did this capture Mourinho?
"What's the bad news?"
Dembele asked.
Agent: "Barcelona wants to loan you out."
If the order is reversed, this is definitely bad news.
But with the advance of "Arsenal is interested in you", this "bad news" is not so bad.
Dembele said nervously: "How is Arsenal negotiating with the club? When will it be loaned? Winter window or summer window, the proposal at this time should be winter window, right?"
Based on Arsenal's outstanding performance this season, Dembele was moved.
He was loaned to Arsenal, even if he dared not do anything, there was a great possibility that he would compete with the team for the Champions League.
This is definitely the best news in the past two years.
