The Eurocup is being a tournament in which many stars are being discovered for which the ‘greats’ of the old continent will have to fight to obtain their token. The FC Barcelona is aware that going to the market is very complicated, because first it has to release its wage bill to, among other things, be able to make a hole for Lionel Messi in the squad facing next season, complying with LaLiga’s financial ‘fair play’.
However, it is not an ‘excuse’ for keep an eye out for the great talents of European football who have ‘exploited’ their potential in the continental tournament, being key to their respective teams. One of them has been Dani Olmo, RB Leipzig player, who signed a great European Championship with Spain and who was the big star in the clash against Italy, in the semifinals, a match in which he surprised playing as a false nine to destabilize the central squadra azzurra.
His great performance was not overshadowed not even by the penalty that he missed. He demonstrated, in the 120 minutes of play, that He is one of those footballers who appear once a decade and for which it is worth going to war. It was formed in Can Barça and left La Masia in search of continuing to grow in a team in which he could be the protagonist, beyond the prestige that it supposed to be part of the Barcelona team.
In fact, that was something he confessed a month ago in an open letter to ‘The Players Tribune’, in which he confessed that leaving Barça was “a natural step” and that, if he stayed, “I ran the risk of losing myself in the system, of transform myself into one more player, without a clear path to the first team “. The ‘play’ turned out very well because it ended up being key at Dinamo Zagreb and it is being so, too, at RB Leipzig.
The truth is that Terrassa’s is a player that the whole of Europe likes and for whom there will be a war in the transfer market, despite the fact that he is very comfortable at RB Leipzig. He has stood out in recent years for his ability to play on the wing, left or right, enhancing his clever movements, speed, dribbling and impressive determination in the last meters.
An ideal player
He is a footballer that any coach likes (Julian Nagelsmann was his fan at Leipzig) for his freshness and ambition, because he is a versatile player, dangerous in offensive transitions and with technical resources. Luis Enrique has already shown, in addition, that he can adjust to various systems and that he can perform perfectly in his different roles on the pitch.
