After rumours of a possible exit from Barcelona during the simmer, Nelson Semedo claimed a place in the future of Barcelona.
He got tired of sharing minutes with Sergi Roberto on the side and asked to be indisputable in his favorite position, as a right back, which received a positive response from the Barca club, who wanted to move Sergi Roberto to the wide area.
His performance, in any case, has disappointed. He was supposed to be more defensive than the Barca squad, but it has been in his own area where he has left more to be desired.
He was horrible in El Sadar and neglected his duties in the first goal of the Navarrese team and his performance was even more marked in Dortmund and Granada.
In the Champions League he gave away an avoidable and almost absurd penalty to Sancho, only to end his fateful week with a bland encounter at Los Carmenes.
In the league game, his performance was hidden by the mistakes that Junior made, who was subbed off by Valverde at half time, but Semedo was equally lazy in attack and uneasy in defense.
The 2-0 penalty came from an avoidable foul by the defender, who measured poorly against Carlos Fernandez.This time not in the area, but with worse consequences than in Germany.
The lack of alternatives does not jeopardise his starting position at the moment, much less with the loss of Jordi Alba, but something does not work with the Portuguese man, who is not only not decisive in attack, but also contributes little in defence.
