Ernesto Valverde after a stunning victory in the Spanish league said he sees progress in Philippe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele.
Yesterday in La Liga, Barcelona conceded an early goal against Girona, but then was merciless - crushing the opponents with a score of 6-1.
Both O. Dembele and P. Coutinho started in the lineup. The latter scored a fantastic goal, while the winger from France recorded an assist.
"Players who score goals like Coutinho gain more and more confidence, and that is what they always seek," - said the coach after the match.
"They are players who should help us on the field, and that's what they are currently doing. Of course, Dembele and Coutinho are completely different footballers.
Dembele is a player who gives Barcelona an advantage playing from depth. He had a serious injury, so he had to miss many matches, which also affected his prolonged adaptation. That's why he is still finding himself in this team.
Coutinho is excellent in the heart of the game - that's his strength. Both players took a big step forward today," added E. Valverde.
