Barcelona sbo888 centre-back Gerard Pique was full of praise for Ousmane Dembele after their 5-0 victory away to Levante on Sunday night as the Frenchman played right wing-back due to the last-minute injury to Nelson Semedo.Due to the Portuguese's knock, Ernesto Valverde went for a three-man defence with Dembele and Jordi Alba as the right and left wing-backs respectively."Dembele must be involved," said Pique."He has lots of ability to help and it is necessary to help him, too."The Frenchman showed that while his attacking skills are well-known, sbo888 he has the capability to sacrifice for the team as, despite a shaky start, he grew into the role and looked comfortable by the final whistle.He may not have had the best attacking performance in a Barcelona shirt, but Dembele performed an important role for the team - using his pace to get back into position on many occasions - as he earned a deserved rest after being brought off 10 minutes from time for Denis Suarez. sbo888
