Ousmane Dembélé has again not made a good turn with Barcelona coach Xavi. After he was fined 100 euros last Friday for showing up at the club three minutes late, he received a call from the club last Tuesday morning asking where he was. While the entire squad was preparing for morning practice, Dembélé sat at home under the assumption that the practice session would not take place until the afternoon.
In the past few days, the Spanish media has already written a lot about the ten rules that Xavi has introduced at Barcelona. From now on, players must report to the club one and a half hours before training. Dembélé should have appeared at 08:30 on Friday morning, because the training was scheduled for 10:00. However, the Frenchman arrived at 8.33 am and has to pay 100 euros for this.
The French international turns out to be hard-learned, because last Tuesday, according to Esport3 gone wrong again. According to the reports, Dembélé thought the training would not be until the afternoon, but Tuesday was the only day on which morning training was scheduled. The attacker would therefore have been surprised when he was asked on the phone where he was. Dembélé then rushed to the club, but was again late, which will have resulted in him being fined a second time. According to Xavi’s rules, Xavi will have to pay 200 euros, double his first fine.
Xavi will be on the bench for the first time tonight as Barcelona coach. According to Spanish media, Frenkie de Jong and Memphis Depay can count on a basic place in the city derby against Espanyol. Luuk de Jong has to settle for a place on the bench. Xavi is expected to choose Abde in the vanguard tonight, the nineteen-year-old talent who can prepare for his first base place.
