Hungry for sport, he grew up to the sound of Formula 1 engines and the exploits of Ronaldinho. Today, with a Master's degree in sports journalism, he no longer misses an F1 Grand Prix or a PSG match, his two passions and specialties.
Present in a conference the day before the clash against Manchester City, Ousmane Dembélé assured that he was doing well and that he could play in this clash despite his flu. However, PSG's number 10 was a substitute at kick-off, a choice justified by Luis Enrique and which bore fruit since Dembélé made a sensational entrance.
Absent against Espaly in the Coupe de France then at Lens in Ligue 1, Ousmane Dembélé was therefore uncertain for the clash against Manchester City Wednesday evening because of the flu. However, at a press conference on Tuesday, number 10 of PSG was very reassuring: “ Yes, I feel much better. I had a little flu, well a little one… It wasn't a little one, I think. I had five-six days where I was a little down, but since Saturday things have been better and I feel ready. I trained with the team and I feel good. »
-“We didn’t want to take any risks”
And yet, Ousmane Dembélé was a substitute at the kick-off of the clash against Manchester City. A little surprise given his comments the day before, but Luis Enrique had an explanation. “ It's different for Ousmane (Dembélé) who had a fever for five days and with whom we didn't want to take any risks because we didn't know what the result would be and in a week we play in Stuttgart, another vital match », assures the coach of PSG at a press conference, reported by CulturePSG.
A smashing entry into the game
Eventually, Ousmane Dembélé came on at half-time, in place of Lee Kang-Inand it was decisive. Indeed, number 10 of PSG first reduced the score while Manchester City led 2 to 0, before proving untenable in the game. The former winger of the Barça therefore has the ability to change the face of his team. All the more reason not to take any risks by lining him up from the start while he was unwell. Luis Enrique must not regret his choice.
