Valverde has ‘high hopes’ for Dembele

The boss had some praise for the Frenchman

Ernesto Valverde was full of praise for Ousmane Dembele after he won the Supercopa de Espana on Sunday for Barcelona with a brilliant strike.

Dembele started in Morocco and with the game tied at 1-1 fired into the top corner to give Barcelona the win.

Valverde spoke about the 21-year-old after the game and explained why he had been impressed with his performance.

“He has a lot of quality and he’s a Barcelona player,” Valverde said. “I know there’s a lot of things going round [...] But he started the game, he scored a wonder goal and he linked well with the team.

”In fact, he got better as the game went on. He was able to create space where there wasn’t much against a team that sat back more than we expected. And in the second half, he was really good.”

It was a moment of brilliance from Dembele, let’s hope we see plenty more of that over the new season.
