Nelson Semedo

Apart from the obvious easing down the new boy, there also of course is the level of difficulty and probably the size of the field as well!

Why does the size of the field matter?

 

[JamDav1982]

Think he planned from outset to ease him in.

Maybe his home performances in easier conditions have been aided by been completely fresh for them and boosting his confidence.

Why does the size of the field matter?

Bigger the size more the full backs will have to cover the ground and also should be better at providing the width? If the field is smaller, Roberto's weaknesses as a full back wouldn't be as exposed/exploited as they would be on a bigger field?

 

[Nothanks]

I don't have a problem with him being eased into the squad

Umtiti is a rare case in the sense that he fit like a glove since day 1 and semedo seems to be doing just as good
but learning a new language, new country, learning a very unique way of playing like we do at barca can be hard on players, so long as we don't lose points its good that he's being introduced slowly.

 

[xXKonan]

He was easily one of our best players today.

 

[Raketa10]

Our best player today.

 

[BarçaBarça]

Good game from him today - really an upgrade on the rightback

 

[fergus90]

This guy has been great so far. What a player.

 

[CatalinR10]

great game

 

[Ousmane Dembélé]

Consistently great.

 

[Barcaman]

So happy we seem to have found a long term RB. If we could add one such player as a starter each season we'd be golden.

Alves pre-assist in the 3rd goal for PSG

I hope Semedo can do something like that one day

 

[clemente]

Like honestly I started to like Arsenal team now, I feel like I owe them something for not selling Bellerin.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

What a signing. Amazing. Our defense could be set for a long time with Umtiti and Semedo.
