The Ivorian midfielder has highlighted a surprising quality of the French winger.
Ousmane Dembélé has always been characterized by his explosiveness, ability to strike with both feet, offensive versatility, and ability to unbalance defenders. Although he did not fully meet the enormous expectations he generated upon his arrival at FC Barcelona in 2017, where he was meant to replace Neymar Jr, and at PSG, he has yet to truly ‘take off’, the French winger is a great player who has performed at a notable level in the elite of football for several seasons.
However, one area where Dembélé does not particularly excel is decision-making. Even Xavi Hernández, one of the coaches who has trusted him the most throughout his career, has publicly acknowledged many times that he needed to improve his choice of how to resolve plays after good interventions.
This is why the statements from his former teammate at Barça, Franck Kessie, have caused surprise. In a survey where he had to choose the best footballers he has played with, the Ivorian midfielder highlighted Dembélé as the player with the best left foot… and the greatest football intelligence.
These surprising comments from Kessie were made on ‘SPL’, a social media account that follows the current football scene in Saudi Arabia. It is worth noting that the African midfielder currently plays for Al-Ahli, where this season he has already scored two goals and provided two assists in 10 matches.
