For Giovanni Dos Santos this will be a difficult return to the Nou Camp. It was the change of an flop when on-loan Celta Vigo striker Park Chu-Young was tasked with downing the grand Barcelona last week. While they did earn a commendable 2-2 draw via former Birmingham City midfielder Borja Oubina the South Korean loanee but failed to deliver any such recovery for the Galician side and failed to obtain on the report sheet;. This weekend it's when it comes to downing perhaps the best team in the world the turn of a flop and for that one it will be considered a more important stop by at the Nou Camp than others. Giovanni dos Santos was closed by Spurs in 2008 obviously from the Catalan area themselves. Spurs settled a6 million for the Mexican prodigy who'd made his aggressive debut for Blaugrana aged only 18 when he came on for Thierry Henry in September 2007. He was some thing of a teen discomfort and anticipated to follow in the footsteps of numerous other good young skills at the club; nonetheless that never materialised. Therefore in 2008 he signed for Spurs; a move considered something of a coup by most supporters and pundits. Nevertheless his most extraordinary stint whilst a Tottenham player was that loan deal at Ipswich Town; he never really revealed his course at The Lane. On Saturday night he returns to the Nou Camp; where it all started for him being an eleven-year-old boy and is tasked with downing his former team-mates. It's a prospect that obviously has him very excited as you can view from Twittera Which roughly translates as 'Big game tomorrow! For me personally to perform in the Nou Camp It'll be very special! Great evening' But he is right about one thing; that is an essential game. Mallorca risk losing contact with the likes of Real Zaragoza and Granada in the relegation challenge when they experience still another defeat traveling this Saturday. For Gio this would be unacceptable and see his team playing in the 2nd level of Spanish football next time. For Spurs fans the game will be a welcome opportunity to have a look and see if Gio has improved since his time in North London. For Mallorca supporters this kind of pleasure is not on show. For them this game is one battle in the battle that's survival.
