(REACTION) PERFECT Debut for Dani Olmo! Rayo Vallecano vs. FC Barcelona (1-2)

now I can just tell you that feran Torres get comfortable in the bench settle in because you're not getting off the bench if you are a defending team you're having difficulties stepping to players because if you get too tight to Mar Bernardo you get too tight to M to pedri then all of a sudden Dan almost poping open and you're having difficulties addressing Those runs that are coming late out of the Midfield he can do that he can have late runs out of the Midfield he can add goals he has that in his game he has quick touches in tight areas we saw it in the goal we saw it in the Finish as well so there's a lot to like about Danny olmo and and what he can do with Barcelona and the understanding with pedri as to who goes who stays who talks underneath how they combine and if they comb combine well with each other then that free up Robert Lewandowski to make little runs in behind and he gives you the width that you need with RAF on the left and I mean Jamal on the right it looks very good right now for Barcelona and certainly a perfect de from Dano's perspective was worth the white yeah yeah was time it what's time really happy really happy about the game or the win it was a dream deil for me have these last couple of weeks been difficult for you or were you confident that ultimately there would be wouldn't be any problem that ultimately you would be able to play no of course not I was I was confident on on the club I was I was ready physically preparing for for when I have the chance to to start playing uh today I I could make it so I'm I'm really really happy how how it was it how it how it finished so it was really important for the team I don't know if it's too simplistic to look at it like this but from your point of view is this something you've wanted to do since the moment you left Barcelona was was returning always in your mind or did you not really know where your career would take you well it was a it was a dream of course to to come back how it was it after after 10 years so I had no I had no doubt when Barcelona knock let's say on on my door so now I'm really happy to be here has the club changed little bit little bit yes of course I live when I was 16 my qualities TR when I when I came in to to control the game together with with pedri and Mark in in the middle I think we make a really a really good game in in general and we deser to win Danny what's the target for Barcelona this year obviously in the summer when mbappe went to Real Madrid and and with the the rebuilding that Atletico Madrid have done there's been a lot of talk about those two as title challenges and maybe not as much about Barcelona but is that ultimately the target for you no we don't care we don't care that they don't talk about us in in this things we are focused on on on our goals on our things uh we know our our goals our objectives so we're going to we're want to fight for everything thank you Danny congratulations with Danny omo coming on and having what the perfect debut yeah exactly we were expecting danm Mo to get involved into the game it was earlier that that we thought just straight away in the second half but Barcelona needed to to change something one of the things that he changed and we mentioned it with Al in the beginning of the of the of the game was wider try to play wider when RAF goes into the left side you make the the line of defense of this Rano to spread a little bit more space into the middle and Dan Elmo is a very intelligent football player and he he got straight away into those Pockets start receiving the ball turning around and linking with L Jamal with Lewandowski with Rafa the understanding with him and Petty has been fantastic just in the first game and of course the goal uh the way he approach he control he put the shape of his body just straight away with a a control towards him in the left the the left foot that is not the his best but of course he got so much talent to put that second goal it was just fantastic so a quick reaction from Barcelona very needed to bring the intensity to bring the energy to bring the ball quicker a front and in the end I think a result that is it was fair to say that they deserve it in the first goal for Barcelona the and you talk about what the impact of Danny Elmo is it's obvious to see what the impact this is in the second goal he scores a goal that's huge imp back but the freedom of pedri to be able to run with the ball and get himself into an attacking position because you have another threat that attracts attention away from him and so that is Dani Elmo and so now pedri can join in the attack and you have two guys that can come from a deeper line and in the second goal while Danny ormo is the one that scores and pedri is is also trailing the play at top of 18 yard box we rarely saw that from Barcelona last season we rarely saw that well we rarely saw pedri at all because obviously he was injured but we rarely saw midfielders with deeper runs or from deeper line getting into the box and being an option into the box why is that important well it's critically important when you think that if leandos is going to attract a lot of attention if you have runs from deeper line you're going to find yourself with time and space top of the 18 yard box to go on finish place is what pedri did today is what Danielo did today and I think it's something that Barcelona can take advantage of in the future did uh the second half has been much better than the first one what has changed what have you told them yeah it's EAS no it's on it's on it's on can hear me yes okay um yeah we know what what happens here so we we I think um the team was was prepared for that and um I think we we defended good but not perfect in the first half and um but in the second half I in the halftime I said to to the team okay with 80% it's not possible to win here and in this atmosphere and also um the team from Rio they they make it really good um many long balls and but they have fast players and um to defend this it's not easy so we have to to uh put pressure on the ball and and we make it in the second half much better how is how are you feeling in the in not not good but I think also also the the team you can see it uh when you go in the dressing room all around him and uh I think he made a fantastic match this night with 177 years years old uh such a performance oh that was was unbelievable but it it hurts it hurts um and it's um sad victory
