Sergiño Dest is the latest American to make a big-money move to a massive club, spurning advances from European champions Bayern Munich to join Barcelona. At his introductory press conference, Dest identified former Barca right back Dani Alves as his idol, but how soon will he have a chance to get on the pitch and follow in the Brazilian’s footsteps? ESPN FC’s Julien Laurens, Gab Marcotti and Shaka Hislop discuss Dest’s arrival at Barcelona and whether he is capable of quickly overtaking Sergi Roberto as the preferred right back.

I cannot believe this is what you ppl are here talking abt 🤦🏿♂
Hopefully he will
Who cares about the ball juggling lol
Juggling was a requirement for my high school football team trials- unfortunately for me
yes. roberto is not dynamic enough to play the RB role and he's had more than enough chances.
Hazard failed at his too and it gave no indicator of how his career there would…oh wait
Dani Alves Version 2.0 DEST🕵
Shaka hislop what did you achieve in your life?
Bayern stopped calling, after he did that, it was planned!
Have you seen Sergio Roberto's performance in last match mate..?
Dest trash …
It's ok to be nervous for all young players especially if u are given chance at real Madrid or Barcelona but these lads wouldn't know it, because there biggest highlight of career would have been playing some cup games against a third tier team.
Got to love Kabs constent rationality on his analazyses.
I hope Dest is amazing at Barca for the simple fact of proving gab wrong
He was presented while raining …. which espn so called pundits can do it like him without the rain
Gab said barca will finish 3rd this season , we are watching gab , your beloved madrid are quite shaky without thier best player VaR
He will be starting games from the game after Sevilla because…we have no Right back & Roberto is a midfielder
You guys really spent half the video talking about him juggling a ball during a presentation 🤨😴
If he join for other club they will say that he is very good side ..cause he is joing us they will say he isnt good enough
Gab know nothing about football
I think ESPN hired him to provoke people and he is doing really well in that position.
Just when Dest was announced, Roberto had a pretty amazing game against Celta 😂
Lowlife ESPN ppl are running out of things to report on. His presentation was much better than most barça signees' presentation in the past
Why is Hislop always giggling like a complete moron? He's so unbelievably annoying.
What do i care if Dest can juggle with the ball. He is a player with a lot of potential. More than Sergio Roberto as rb. I dont think he will start on sunday. I can imagen it is all overwelming for Dest. He will get some minites from Koeman in the second half.
i think barcelona posted another video of his presentation , where there was no water on the pitch , he was doing pretty well
Gab Barcelona hater he's never spoken positive about Barcelona…..Your team Real Madrid is struggling
“We know how harsh the Catalan media can be” as he does the same thing
Does Erik Ten Hag stand a chance at Ajax?
At one point he was tipped to take over from Kovac at Bayern Munich. Now he is the forgotten man of football management.
In the past Ajax were more successful when they waited 2 to 3 years before selling their best players but this constant selling over the past 2 years has just bled their team dry.
I would not want to be an Ajax fan playing in the Champions League this season.
Even a quality manager like Ten Hag needs quality footballers to work with.
There's a reason these oldies are sitting and he's playing, Judgling isn't a criteria for performance
Johan Cruyff: “Technique is not being able . Anyone do that by practicing. Then work in the circus. Technique is passing the with touch, with the right speed, at the right foot of your team mate.”
Where's Craig?
I swear nobody watched the whole presentation. He did almost 4 minutes of stuff but of course the media only talks about the 10 secs where he failed. Typical.
A LIKE👍 for what Gab said!
Sergi Roberto was world class last game. And I do think that Barca will prefer have one primarily defending full back who can go forward like the last goal. If a team then congests the left side, Xoutonho can just move to the right and be work with Greizmann and Messi.
ESPN pundits assessing a young player on his presentation 😂 this is EXACTLY we can expect from them. Clowns
This kid have plenty of skills he will definitely success at Barcelona & y’all need to stp sleeping on him watch
Man these guys are absolutely disgusting. A young prospect joins one of the European giants in football and these morons here starts by the tricks he failed to complete in his presentation 🤦♂️
They should just let the Brazilians do these tricks
One thing for sure is Dest will unseat Nick Lima in USMNT.
Dest can support Messi like Dani Alves did on the right flank, but in his own way.
Alphonso Davis goes to Bayern and succeeds and we never hear about it, but if an American gets signed suddenly everyone cares
It's incredible that people talk about such trivial things. The opening part of this video is just utter nonsense.
