Barcelona
Dani Olmoat 26 years old, came to Barça to explode definitively. And so he is fulfilling it. “We knew he was very good, but not that good,” said a Barça first team employee smiling a few days ago, before their double against Espanyol. The playmaker needed five league games and a little time in the Champions League to confirm that the 47 million he cost are starting to look cheap.
The ’20’ culé, Deco’s stubborn desire, is happy on his return home and it shows on the field. You have found the ideal context to show your best version. For Elm Hansi Flick’s system and the position in which the coach uses it are key: playing as ’10’, as a midfielder, in the 1-4-2-3-1 (although he does stretch Pedri many times it is a 1-4-1-4-1) it is his ideal demarcation because it allows him to surprise from the second line, in addition to offering himself to the midfielders, connecting with the wingers and assisting the striker. He feels well surrounded. Everyone understands the orderly game proposed by the team and Dani frees his colleagues.
He understands very well with Pedri and Lamine from the national team, he already knew Lewy and has achieved a great connection with Raphinha
That is another of the keys to the good moment of Dani Olmo: The ‘feeling’ with his colleagues. Knows and understands perfectly Pedri and Lamine Yamal of the Spanish team. Ahead of him is a ‘killer’ like Lewandowski, whom he knew from the Bundesliga and at the same time achieved a special connection with Raphinha. The Brazilian forward has surprised the Egarense, who speaks wonders of him. Not only for his football, but also for his role in the locker room, always looking out for his teammates, especially the young ones.
Your data confirms it
