#4 Overlapping

The Brazilian is extremely good at overlapping midfielders in order to make a cross or a pass into the box or create a particular chance. He’s shown his quality in making runs in order to create chances at Real Betis. He’s done it extremely well and is probably one of the reasons he’s being called back to the Nou Camp by triggering that particular deal.

Dest is often known to create brilliant chances with his dribbling skills and while Emerson may not be as gifted in that aspect, he is capable of playing in a similar fashion to that of Dani Alves, which fans would remember worked magically with Messi up front.
