Ousmane Dembele : Injury prone or an unfit match

‘Dembele! Dembele! Dembele!’ In 2017 the slogan was quite common among the Barca fans as they landed the French youth Football prodigy at Barcelona with a huge deal of 105 million Euro. This became the joint highest transfer in that year along with Paul Pogba. The money was spent well, created huge buzz but this was not Bundesliga anymore. He was going to play with the icons and probably in the most successful club of last decade. Barcelona is alredy star stuck and Dembele was brought to fill the massive black hole void created when Neymar left. Clearly the expectation was huge.
He stayed here for three seasons but the thing is most of the time he is seen off the field sitting on the bench. He is young and got all the skills to become a player to remember. He is good with both legs and can play in both wings. Like Messi he can do the shoulder drop and can pass any defender. He also got the speedy legs with a good physique. He was supposed to be the successor to Messi in Barcelona. But the thing did not go as per plan and he got injured in his very first season.
He made only 24 appearances in the first season at Barcelona. He got his first hamstring injury while playing against Getafe and out of the field for four months. He made his recovery around January but again got injured playing for 2 weeks . He returned to the field after four weeks and scored his first goal against Chealsea in Champions League . He managed to score only 4 goals in this season . But his next season was average with 29 appearances for the team. He also bagged one Goal of the week at Champions League. But he able to made only 5 appearances in the next season due to his left foot hamstring injury. He was benced for five weeks but after his return he made a hamstring tear . That leads to surgery and out of the game for whole season.
This was Dembele’s story at Barcelona. He was undoubtedly one of the god gifted player in football but hard work in uplifting that is also important. It was reported many times that he misses training sessions and had a bad habit of playing video games latenight. He often misses morning training sessions. These are not expected from a professional player playing at that level. After the Griezman came to Barcelona there was obvious duel for the same place. In the next season he is likely to move to Manchester United.
