Snip.
I have noticed some difference in Dembele's game this in the world cup, his passing stats and contributions show massive improvement and I must commend his efforts as well as the team's efforts in the world cup. I believe that his ability to create chances from time to time is been considered more in selecting him for competitions like this and it is actually paying off in the world cup.
Dembele has answered all of his doubts well, his contribution to France in the world cup being a godsend for Barcelona. I also see that several Barcelona players have improved a lot during their time with their country in the world cup, Gavi, Pedri, Kounde and Ferran Torres have all made good contributions to their country. The elimination of Spain is also a blessing for Barcelona, its flagship players can return to training with other players who have not competed in the world cup. Xavi can do regular training to make his squad more compact to face the competition after the start of the League.
