‘One click with Lionel Messi’

Sergiño Dest is one of the few Barcelona players to have received a pass for his performance against Getafe. Ronald Koeman’s team lost 1-0 on Saturday evening. The back who came over from Ajax made his debut as a left back in the base of the Catalans, because Koeman did not want to change his 4-2-3-1 system. The newspapers in Spain have a lot of faith in the future of the American international like Azulgrana.

Sport handed out just three passes of Barcelona’s core strengths: a six for both Lionel Messi and Dest, while Pedri with a seven was the most highly regarded player of the Azulgrana used to be. “Dest’s match was very promising”, it sounds enthusiastic. “It’s not easy to make your base debut for Barcelona in a stadium like Getafe’s and he also did it as a left back. That’s not his usual place. He came forward at the right moments and seemed to have a connection with Messi. That almost led to a goal, but the post got in the way. ”

Also Brand praised Dest’s match in Getafe. “He proved on the left that he is a versatile footballer. The right foot showed on the left that he likes to assert himself offensively, came into play a lot and every now and then we saw some nice details. He worked hard, even though he went from more to less in the match. ” The latter noted Sports world also. “Of more less. But what flair in his first game as a base player of Barcelona ”, is the compliment of the Catalan sports newspaper. “He showed the necessary intensity on the left despite being a right foot and showed initiative in an offensive way. Dest eventually ended on the right. Strangely enough he made a lesser impression there. ”

“Dest started restlessly”, adds AS to read. “But after that he was looser, even though he didn’t play on his usual right side. He even had a share in the action where Lionel Messi shot on the post. He ended on the right. Dest puts the necessary intensity into his game, but that also led to some inaccuracies on the ball tonight. He will still have to develop in this. And a lot too. ” ElDesmarque saw Dest reach ‘a normal level’, without really excelling at anything. The ex-Ajax player gets a six, just like Sergio Busquets. Only Pedri received a higher rating: a seven. “Dest contributed to the build-up and did not stand by itself when there was an attack. A close pass in his debut as a starting player. ”

He Newspaper Dest awarded a six. The Catalan daily only handed out passes to Neto and Pedri, both a seven. There is a good chance that the American international will again appear in the base of Barcelona next Wednesday, when the Champions League game with Ferencvaros is on the program. Junior Firpo is struggling with physical complaints, while Jordi Alba appears to be geared up for Saturday’s meeting with arch-rival Real Madrid.
