Failed in sports, Thomas grew up between the football round ball and the basketball orange, his two favorites since always. A graduate of a master’s degree and a license at the European Institute of Journalism in Paris, he still very closely follows the adventures of Arsenal and Los Angeles Lakers.
On fire in recent months with PSG, Ousmane Dembélé does not please everyone. This is the case of Jorge Sampaoli, ex-coach of OM among others, who compared his style of play to that of an autistic not so long ago. For Sport, Sampaoli, however, returned to his remarks.
33 goals scored throughout the season by Ousmane Dembélé In the jersey of PSG… just that for those who have constantly been qualified as imprecise in the last gesture and clumsy. Since its repositioning at the forefront of the attack on Paris Saint–Germain operated by his coach Luis Enriquethe tricolor world champion has become a lethal armed for Parisians.
“They know they play like an autistic”
However, Ousmane Dembélé The wrath of Jorge Sampaoli some time ago. The ex-coach of theWhether and Argentine selection had not mince his words to So Foot. “When he overflows, the other players are like spectators who look at how the action will end. They know that they play like an autistic: it begins the action and ends it on its own. He does not have the capacity to make a teammate shine, he just knows how to be shined himself. ”
“I expressed myself very badly”
Ousmane Dembélé, an autistic? In interview for the newspaper SPORT, Jorge Sampaoli made his mea culpa by removing her insult, while persisting and signing on a specific point. “I expressed myself very badly. I am very emotional and passionate, and all I wanted to say is that Dembélé is not an associative player. He looks at the opponent much more and the goal than his teammates. For me, it is one of the best in the world, but in a context like that of Barça, where the association is necessary, it isolates itself and is not as efficient. He plays his game, he does it very well, but I value authority and associative football ”.
