Sergiño Dest

has finally found happiness at Barça.

The young right-back, the first American in the club's history, enjoys the option of decisively joining the attack given him by what already seems to be

Koeman's

definitive scheme

for the Catalans.

To such an extent that he has been able to achieve what he had never achieved before: his first scoring double.

"I had never scored two goals in a game.

This system is going very well for me and the team, "he confessed on Barça TV as soon as the game ended.

Although he was born in the Netherlands, on November 3, 2000, and despite the fact that Koeman himself wanted to convince him to defend the

Oranje team

when he was their coach, Sergiño's paternal blood was stronger.

His father, a sergeant in the United States Air Force, met his mother while stationed in the Netherlands.

And young Dest, in fact, did not set foot in the one he chose as his nation until he was 14 years old, when he visited New York.

His decision, despite everything, was already made.

He made his debut with the senior US national team in 2019 and has since played five games, having previously gone through the U17 and U20.

In the Barça squad, curiously, he has also coincided with a compatriot:

Konrad de la Fuente

.

Despite the latter joining the club's lower ranks in 2014, Dest went ahead when it came to playing for the first team.

And in fact, Koeman hasn't given him much of a chance either.

Quite the opposite of a Dest that, apparently, has already overcome what has been left at the end as a bump.

"The coach has hit the key"

«I am happy and everyone is happy on this team.

We are on the right track, winning and scoring a lot of goals.

We have to continue like this, "he reiterated.

“Here everyone scores goals.

All players have to be psyched, those who play and those who don't, because they can make a difference every time they enter.

We are a group and only then can we achieve great things, "added

Antoine Griezman

in Movistar LaLiga.

“Behind us we are better, safer, and we have people in the middle who recover balls.

The coach has hit the key and we will work to do everything possible to be champions, "he said.

«The best thing is the image we have given.

It is the demonstration that we are going for everything, "Koeman himself pointed out as soon as the game ended at Movistar LaLiga.

«It is important to have people who score goals apart from

Leo

.

This makes it more difficult to defend ourselves.

The drawing, in addition, has helped us to press better on the contrary, we have improved our aggressiveness without the ball, because there was already a lot of quality with him, "added the Dutchman, who predicts a championship that has been fought to the last breath.

«It is not only Atlético, Real Madrid is also there to fight.

It will be exciting until the end, "he added.

In his opinion, time has been key in Barça's image change.

«We started well, we had some ups and downs in the League, it was difficult for us to close matches, we had defensive errors, we lacked the effectiveness that we have had ... The team has gone to more, it has found itself on the pitch and that it is important ”, pointed out a Koeman who, however, does not want to throw the bells to the flight.

"I am not convinced that we are not going to lose any more games, there are more strong rivals and there will be difficult games for everyone.

The important thing is to continue in this line.

In addition, the effectiveness that we have had is also going to be important to be able to win something, "he said.
