"I don't know the pre-November Dembele, but I'm very happy with this one"

Barcelona got their third draw of this pre-season tour of the USA. This time, their opponents were Juventus and the final score was 2-2. Barca took the lead thanks to a great goal from Dembele, but then Kean equalised.

Before half-time, Dembele netted again for Barcelona, but the Italian also found the target again to make it 2-2. Xavi Hernandez spoke about the draw and highlighted Dembele.

"It could be due to a lack of rhythm, the heat, the dry pitch. We were more off colour than the other day. We're in pre-season and there are things to improve, but feelings are good. Young people are fighting hard. Interesting things are being seen. I think we're on the right track," he said about the match. 

He also had good comments about Dembele, who scored twice: "He's shown what he's capable of. He's different, special. There aren't many of this type. He gives us a lot with the way we have to play. Not everyone is capable of making differences in the world of football and he is."

"He is involved and he shows that. I don't know the Dembele before November. I'm very happy with this one," he made it clear. Pjanic also had game time: "He has unique vision of play in football. He always looks ahead, he looks very well for the number 9, he has extraordinary technical ability."

Lewandowski has gone another game without scoring: "He's good, very intelligent. He's getting close to the goal. He's very close and he's working. We have to use him much more. When they press up top, we have to play with him so that he waits in the opposition's half. He's going to help us a lot."

"The feelings are good. I believe the team are growing. They have got what they had been talking about since November. The training sessions are very intense, despite the adverse weather conditions because of the hear. It does not mean anything because we are in pre-season, but there is a good team and excitement," he explained about the tour.

Lastly, he spoke about the match: "We tried to look for the man in space. About appearing, supporting. About automatic movements. We've seen very interesting things. The important things is for the new players to understand this, but they come from great clubs with great coaches."
