Barcelona defender determined to return to his best version, trains on a day off

Jules Kounde has endured a tough season at Barcelona this term. He has struggled to realise his potential, often failing to provide enough consistency at the back.

Kounde was also quite impacted by Xavi Hernandez’s decision to leave the club at the end of the season.

However, the Frenchman does not give up just yet and is working hard to get back to his best version, as soon as possible.

Kounde’s determination and commitment to the team was evident when he was spotted training on a day off.

In a video shared on Instagram by his personal trainer (h/t SPORT), Dan Edwards, Kounde was seen running on the track and working on his game.

The Frenchman has already shown signs of improvement in recent weeks, particularly when being deployed in the right-back position.

Kounde’s recent form

Indeed, Kounde has impressed in the right-back position in the last few matches. He was solid against Osasuna, helping Barcelona keep a valued clean sheet.

In the following game against Alaves, Barça only conceded one goal and Kounde was relatively good in that match.

With Barcelona conceding only one goal in the last two league matches, the critics have mellowed down, at least for now.

But it is imperative for players like Kounde, Ronald Araujo and Pau Cubarsi to continue working on their game and maintain this consistency, if Barcelona are to end the season on a strong note.
