Jadon Sancho: English ID, Barca DNA
Born in England and playing for the English national team, however, Jadon Sancho's football is of more European influences than British. This Tuesday, Barcelona threatens.
Paco Alcacer will be the main man in this clash. It will be the first time that he faces his former team since he had to leave Camp Nou. But he is not the only danger. The young Englishman, Jadon Sancho, also threatens the Barcelona team.
And although Raheem Sterling is now one of the most popular players, Jadon Sancho does not respond to the English football stereotype, as his playing style is somewhat different.
In fact, if Sancho's DNA, which is of Trinidadian origin, had to be defined, it is more typical of a player trained in Barca. Fast, powerful, with change of pace, good one-on-one and overflow. A sort of Pedro, the Canarian player now in Chelsea, although more likely to assist than to score.
So much so that the English international has been on Barcelona's agenda for the future. Of course, Borussia Dortmund, who has him as one of their young talents,, would ask for a few million to anyone who wants him. For eight million he arrived at Dortmund from City; Now his pass is priced in amounts that could even multiply by ten.
This will be Jadon Sancho's first time playing against Barcelona in his career. Except when he came up against them twice with the Man City youth squad, to which both ended in defeat.
And although Manchester United have been linked with him and will bet heavily on his incorporation, the 19-year-old recently let himself shine to Barca and Madrid.
