#3 Prepare Ousmane for the big stage

FC Barcelona v Chelsea FC - UEFA Champions League Round of 16: Second Leg
If mentored right, Ousmane can be the best in the world

In the second leg against Roma, it seemed that Barcelona missed a quick winger who can get behind the opponent backline.

Ousmane Dembele didn’t have the best time of his life last season. Injured twice, he only got to play a few matches until the end of the season. He was underplayed because he wasn’t prepared, having been injured for 6.5 months. However, the world knows Ousmane has got the quality to tear apart defenses. Quick feet, insane acceleration, the absence of a ‘weak foot’, and a keen understanding of Barcelona’s famous one-twos -- he’s got it all.

This time, he has time too. He has changed his diet and work ethic, so he should be fit unless something really unfortunate happens. The knockout stages don't start until February.

If Ousmane is mentored and allowed to develop right, Barcelona will have one huge boost towards winning the UCL.
