Placed on the bench at kick-off against FC Nantes, Ousmane Dembélé is increasingly tired of Luis Enrique. A mutual feeling.
This Saturday, PSG conceded a draw on their home pitch against FC Nantes, for the 13th day of Ligue 1 (1-1, tops, flops). At the start of this meeting, Luis Enrique notably chose to do without Ousmane Dembélé. A decision in no way motivated by the defeat and expulsion of the player against Bayern in the UCL a few days earlier (1-0).
“It’s always a message that I like to get across. It’s also a message for my supporters. All information and especially in important matches is useful. I try to use them. I want everyone to rebel, for everyone who hasn't warmed up to want to give the best of themselves. My obsession is to see players who want to fight,” he explained at a press conference.
Kimpembe and Kolo Muani also frustrated
Finally, the Parisian winger entered in the 73rd minute, without shining. A situation which will not help the relationship between Enrique and Dembélé, already very tense, reports The Team. Singled out for his “sequences worthy of an inexperienced player”, the French international recognizes his mistake in Munich, but does not understand the firmness of his coach, who was not as uncompromising when other players were in delay.
Privately, the striker considers PSG's game too “stereotypical and predictable”. We cannot say that the atmosphere is good in Paris, especially since Presnel Kimpembe and Randal Kolo Muani are also questioning their management. Still leader of Ligue 1 but virtually eliminated in the Champions League, Luis Enrique's PSG will absolutely have to involve its entire workforce if it wants to get back on track.
