The week was hard for FC Barcelona. Beaten 2-1 on his lawn against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League this Wednesday, the Catalan club took a Rouste this Sunday against the Seville FC (4-1) in Liga. Nothing necessarily dramatic, but the Blaugranas are now second in the championship two points from the rival, Real Madird. This also put the Catalan club faults at the start of the season. When you lose, you are looking for culprits and among the disappointing elements, you find Dani Olmo.
Recruit Star of the 2024 transfer window – Because FC Barcelona could only recruit Pau Victor and him – the 27 -year -old attacking midfielder had delivered an interesting first exercise with 12 goals and 7 assists in 39 games. If he sometimes lacked consistency, especially in the second part of the season, he is this time in a more negative dynamic. Author of a goal and two assists in 10 games on this start of the season, it appears less radiant than its competitor Fermin Lopez (2 goals in 5 games). While the latter is injured and should come back after the international break in October, Dani Olmo did not take advantage of it.
Dani Olmo does not bring enough
Catastrophic Wednesday against Paris Saint-Germain, he was the only offensive element to have brought nothing. Fantomatic and missing a big goal of goal, he inherited a 3 in our notes of the meeting. This Sunday against Seville, he also had an impact close to nothing. Far from the player who had allowed Spain to win Euro 2024, Dani Olmo is hard. The English consultant Gary Neville had also stated the former RB Leipzig: “I observed carefully Olmo and Fermin, and honestly, Fermin LĂłpez brings more to Barcelona that Dani Olmo will never bring it. His energy, her movements and his intelligence of play correspond perfectly to the image of Barça. Soon, supporters will realize that Olmo is not up to it.»»
Among the reasons for this mixture, there is obviously physical data. Fragile player, Dani Olmo had contracted three absences last year who made him miss 20 games in the season. If he is not injured at present, he knows that his level of form was not optimal at the start of the season and that allowed Fermin Lopez to take over. “Last season, he was spectacular. Olmo can also play this position. You have to manage the situation well so that everyone feels important. I'm happy with FermĂn. I was not very satisfied with him in pre-season, but he has progressed for the past two weeks “said Hansi Flick in mid-August when Fermin Lopez took over Dani Olmo. Unable to show a satisfactory level in recent weeks, Dani Olmo will see his situation complicated a little more after the international break and the return of Fermin Lopez.
