Since his arrival, Ousmane Dembélé has been a player of extremes who has alternated his assessment on the two plates of a scale in which on the one hand he was reviled and on the other he was praised. In the first option there are many fans and in the second, Xavi has always defended a player who, with the data in hand, seems to be starting to lean the balance in your favor.
On Sunday against Atlético de Madrid, Dembélé scored his first goal that is worth three points so far this season. It was the seventh that the Frenchman scored in this course. He has scored five goals in LaLiga (against Real Sociedad, Cádiz, Athletic, Almería and Atlético), another in the Champions League (against Inter at the Camp Nou) and another in the Cup (against Intercity) in a season in which he has also scored seven assists.
Dembélé’s influence is also clear in the Olocip Artificial Intelligence data.
According to the data from the IA Dembélé is completing his best season since he arrived in Spanish football with data of influence on the game that even exceeds those he signed in his last year at Borussia Dortmund in the 2016-17 season before signing for the Blaugrana team.
Now, He is the four LaLiga player according to Olocip with the most impact in the game and the second of the Blaugrana team, only surpassed by Robert Lewandowski.
Dembélé, with his actions (not only offensive, but in general) generates a goal for his team every 160 minutes of playa figure that means that the balance is finally tipping for those who, like Xavi Hernández, trusted Ousmane from the beginning.
