Zapping Our Mondial EXCLUDED: Moussa Diaby’s “Little Brother” interview!
Last year, Luis Enrique did not hesitate in each of his interventions in front of the press to praise Ousmane Dembélé by affirming that he was the most destabilizing player in the world. However, he decided to sideline him on Tuesday evening for the clash against Arsenal because of an attitude contrary, according to him, to the good life of the group. L’Equipe returns today to this series and explains that the French international wants to be more decisive from a statistical point of view and that he projects himself as the new figurehead of the Parisian project.
Vitinha penalty taker, Dembélé did not understand!
However, this new ambition came up against a first big decision from the Spanish coach: designating Vitinha as the new penalty taker. A decision which would have aroused incomprehension but also disappointment from the 2018 world champion. Despite his efficiency during the start of the season (4 goals, 3 assists), the native of Vernon appears frustrated.with restrictive offensive animation and instructions which limit certain individual initiatives“.
So, when Luis Enrique criticized him against Rennes for his selfishness and certain of his choices, the former Barcelona player did not fail to react. If they have since officially buried the hatchet, the relationship between the two men will no longer necessarily be the same. There is no doubt that Dembélé’s attitude during the next matches will be closely scrutinized.
To summarize
The current relationship between Luis Enrique and Ousmane Dembélé would not be the warmest. Last year, Luis Enrique did not hesitate in each of his interventions in front of the press to praise Ousmane Dembélé by affirming that he was the most destabilizing player in the world.
