A PERFECT debut for Dani Olmo?! 👀 REACTION to Barcelona vs. Rayo Vallecano | ESPN FC

but then take all three points and that's 321s in a row uh for them to kick off the campaign three games nine points quite literally a perfect start then for Hy flick as we welcome in Luis Garcia Luis of course he watched the game together much improved in the second half you were calling for them to be faster after the break that's exactly what materialized with Dano coming on and having what the perfect debut yeah exactly we were expecting Dani Mo to get inv 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 change and we mentioned it with Al in the beginning of the of the of the game he was wider try to play wider when Rafa goes into the left side you make it the the line of defense of this R Bano to spread a little bit more space into the middle and Dano is a very intelligent football player and he he got straight away into those Pockets started receiving the ball turning around and linking with L Jamal with leandi 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 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 up front and in the end I think result that is it was fair to say that they deserve it take us through Ali more of an impact that Danny made well it gives us team a different look through the Midfield and in the attacking half 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 vernardo you get too tight to to pedri then all of a sudden Danny almost poping open and you're having difficult is 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 is 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 giv to the width that you need with RAF on the left and Jamal on the right it looks very good right now for Barcelona and certainly a perfect debut from Dani almost respect and perfect for hansy flick you think you one nil down at must you come back to win 2-1 same here today you'd be very happy with the character your new team is shown I I thought the difference between Barcelona in the first half and and and the second with the inclusion of of Daniel Mo and not not just the inclusion of Dano but how everybody kind of stepped up and and and changed a lot of of what they were doing and uh the the assist for the goal goes to Lin Mal a lot of criticism may be a harsh word in the first half coming inside but the his acceleration and willingness to take on defenders in in one-onone and get to the by line to look for those late arriving runs of of um Danielo for the goal or whether whether we talking pedri or or be on the other side all of a sudden I I think just gave Barcelona so much more threat from from those wide areas that their Wingers were willing to get to to to B lines were willing to engage one and one when when they they they got in those situations that made Barcelona as a team look far more threatening that made Hy flick look all or the better as as the coach making those adjustments during the break yeah most def go man yeah I I I was just going to say in the first goal for Barcelona 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 impact 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 Danny olmo 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 at 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 Barcelona can take advantage of in the future L are you surprised that we're sat here after three matches and Barcelona have nine points no I'm not surprised of course what I'm surprised is that they managed today to to make a quick reaction and get a a quick comeback to to get the three points and I'm surprised by the level of the team at this stage I'm really surprised let's don't forget there were three players and um under 18 playing today the 11 stter in the past game that's something that we have to remark every single weekend and this is Barcelona in construction and even though they are in construction you can see a kind of the pns that Hans Fleck is trying to implement in this team very aggressive very Dynamic very open to try to use the players into the middle so I'm surprised by how quick this Barcelona has understood what handy play was for this team let's don't forget this still missing some players but the results are there so yeah I'm looking forward to see how they can keep on this this this rhythm of of the game and keep that consistency that is what he was missing last year disappointing result then for Rao one positive of course this week is they have secured the signing of James Rodriguez the Colombian International who was so good in the copper America return turning to Madrid of course after that spell Real Madrid what do you make of this acquisition Lise actually it's going to make a big impact I think to Ray Bano weo again there is a team that likes to have the ball that in the ler they are aggressive they got players quick players on the white areas they got a very quick Striker so having James Rodriguez involved in those number 10 second Striker spots I think he's going to be fantastic his quality his ability his football intelligence they can use at the moment Rano because we saw is is palathon there is a a player very similar on this style he's also left footed but you can use also e palazon on the right side and use those two players to be aggressive so I think that we saw James watching the the game tonight from the STS and I'm sure that he's looking forward to to be involved into the game can he wear his Columbia shirt underneath underneath over it around his legs around his head look it and and the point that you're making is a valid one when he wears a Colombia Jersey different player now what is sort of the commonality of wearing the Colombia Jersey is for a short term it's for a short period of time you need him for two games here I am I'm ready I'm excited I'm all for Colombia Colombia all the way here we go let's play at my very best when it is for an extended period of time where he has to remain engaged for the length of the season season what we have seen from Hamed Rodriguez and it's not just this year we're going to go back a long period of time and you will find that he doesn't hang around all that of his ability to find a pass he can do all those things still at this point in his career is can he do it every single weekend truthfully and honestly the answer to that is no but in moments he's going to be really good for Rayo [Music]
