No goals? “No problem” for Ousmane Dembélé

Ousmane Dembélé, the PSG striker, said he was not worried at all about his running out of fuel with PSG.

Arriving in Paris last summer, for compensation of 50 million euros, Ousmane Dmbélé was supposed to bring something extra to the French champions. But, after three months of competition, the French international is struggling to give satisfaction. Its figures even turn out to be particularly worrying.

Dembélé remains calm

In 13 matches played, the former Rennes player has still not scored with the Ile-de-France team. He was just content with three assists. Three decisive gestures are as many as Marco Asensio, who has played ten matches less and who has been out of action since August.

The picture is anything but rosy. However, this is not likely to worry the person concerned. He confided in the Team. “I understand the criticism, but I don’t judge my performances on a goal scored. You can score a goal and be bad in the match. You can not score and be very good. But, in 2023, it is the statistics that count (…) I think I will progress in this sector, but that does not annoy me. I sleep very well at night, I always have confidence in myself.”

Although he assures that he is not bothered by his low figures, the 2018 world champion still admits that his first steps with Paris are anything but perfect. “My first months are average. I have to give a little more. I know it will come, because it’s a new club. The more matches go by, the better I will be. »

Dembélé still hopes that his drought period will end this Tuesday with the match against AC Milan at San Siro, counting for the Champions League. The European scent will perhaps inspire him and help him regain his effectiveness in front of goal.
