Dest, Samado, Vidal Valves (Reuters)
Barcelona’s eternal search for the ‘new Danny Alves’ ended with the signing of Danny Alves himself earlier this month, at the age of 38. Since the Brazilian left the club in 2016, the Catalans have not stopped looking for a replacement.
In the last five and a half years, the Blaugrana have spent 93.7 million euros for right-backs. Without counting Douglas Pereira, who arrived while Danny Elbas was still playing for the team, five players came to the position: Elijah Vidal (€ 17 million), Nelson Samado (€ 35 million), Musa Waga (€ 5 million), Serginio Dest (€ 21 million) ) And Emerson Royal (15 million euros).
The procurement players together recorded 238 games, in which they scored nine goals and cooked up 26 more. Significantly lower numbers than Danny Alves, who played for Barcelona from 2008 to 2016, recorded 391 appearances, scored 21 goals and added no less than 101 assists. Since the departure of the Brazilian defender, Nelson Samado has been the player who shares the most in the position with 124 appearances, Elijah Vidal has scored the most goals (four) and both are equal in total cookouts with 11 each. Beyond the relatively low numbers compared to Alves, no one has shown similar ability to the veteran defender.
The reason for the optimism: Serginio Dest
Although Serginio Dest is on the list of ‘disappointing substitutes’, it must not be forgotten that the player is 21 years old overall and still in his infancy. The young defender may yet be part of Barcelona’s backbone in the future. “Danny Alves is my role model, he plays in the same position as me. I saw many videos of him and learned a lot. I want to be like him, “he said DST When he signed for Barcelona. He came with the intention of being the heir of the Brazilian and a year and a bit later, will share a dressing room with his idol.
There is no doubt that Alves’ presence will reduce West’s total minutes, yet he will be able to learn a lot from one of the greatest defenders in the club’s history. The training alongside Alves may be the little push that Dest needs, to become the footballer Barcelona expected and expected to be.
