KdB is certainly a work-in-progress. At the outset, hes least-suited to Pep system. Question is his intelligence. Cesc is a good example - not very intelligent, lazy worker. But KdB seems more willing. Pep made Cesc play close to Leo to make best use of him. But the midfield balance did get affected. However Pep is smart and would hv that experiment in mind and learnt from it.
It will truly be another work of genius if he improves KdB's game, right now the guy is little one-dimensional, best for counter-attacking, and through the middle as a 10! Lets see...Pep can still mould him to understand the fluid nature of his system and how he can seamlessly take different responsibilities in the offensive midfield/wings, as he begins to read the game situations better.
In different games, Pep could still use KdB as 10, or in wide right. Fascinating. I only hope KdB is willing to learn. Thats my only concern. He should know hes not a finished product.
