Appearing in front of the media this Thursday, Didier Deschamps spoke of the lack of effectiveness of Ousmane Dembélé.
Transferred to PSG this summer for 50 million euros, Ousmane Dembélé has still not found the net in his new colors. After eight matches played since the start of the season (all competitions), the former Barcelona player has only one small assist to his name.
Invited to a press conference this Thursday to unveil his list of players selected for the Blues’ next two matches, against the Netherlands and Scotland, Didier Deschamps was invited to speak on the lack of effectiveness of “Dembouz “.
“He knows very well that he has room for improvement in this aspect”
“ If in addition to everything he does very well, this ability to eliminate, he adds greater efficiency… If we take the example of the match yesterday (between PSG and Newcastle), between his left foot volley and his shot into the area, it’s two good moves, it’s played from a few centimeters away. It can happen that he has a little less precision in the last gesture or in the area”confided the French coach.
And to add: “If he managed to translate everything he does into goals, it would take on a little more value and weight. I am not taking away from him, and he knows it well, this ability to destabilize the opponent. Obviously, it requires effort, it’s sprints with the thrill rising. Having lucidity and technical accuracy after an effort is a little more difficult. But he knows very well that he has room for improvement in this aspect. »
