Secret of Denis' Suarez's recent success
Things have been going well for La Masia graduate of late, Luis Enrique blessing him with the minutes he has long needed to show the Barcelona faithful what he is capable of producing.
Strong will
Denis is a player who is convinced of his talent and his ability to win a place in this Barça side. His answer to the criticism in the past was impressive: at Sevilla, with Unai Emery on the bench, he was the first to push for a move to Villarreal in search of minutes. His iron will has been his best ally during his most difficult moments. It all contributes to the growth and consolidation of his character.
Versatility
Being versatile is Denis' big strength. Especially in Luis Enrique's squad. He has made two notable achievements. The first is he can work well with the right-back, whether it's been Sergi Roberto or Aleix Vidal. Secondly, and what's stood out the most, has been his link with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.
Goal-scoring ability
It's true that Barça have lacked goals from midfield and even a notable presence in the final third of the pitch. In recent weeks, Denis has been able to contribute in both regards. Three goals in two games are the evidence that with him on the pitch the team look better offensively.
Defensive skills
Denis also works hard without the ball and it's no longer strange to see him pressing opponents and helping out his full-backs. Perhaps he will never be able to match the data of more physical players, like Ivan Rakitic and Andre Gomes, but overall, things are moving in Denis' favour every day.
