Is PSG’s season turning sour? We can think so in view of the contrary events that the Ile-de-France club has been facing for some time. In addition to poor results, the French champions are facing internal tensions.

A few days ago, coach Luis Enrique spoke to his charges to assure them that he still believed in them and that he was ready to relax his management. The idea is to start again on a good basis and forget what didn’t work before.

Dembélé, the incorrigible

For this to happen, however, certain elements would also have to be questioned and we should change our attitude. We think in particular of Ousmane Dembélé. The former Barcelona player has been making missteps for some time now.

There was his avoidable expulsion against Bayern in C1. Before that, there was also his non-selection for the match against Arsenal. His coach dismissed him for disciplinary reasons, without really saying more. Since Thursday, we have known exactly what happened between the two men.

According to Daniel Riolo, the RMC journalist, the French international stood out by arriving very late for training. And he did it voluntarily after being violently scolded by the coach. This behavior is reprehensible and which Luis Campos, the sports advisor, had also described as serious misconduct.

Dembélé has since returned to the group. But, it must be believed that he has not yet completely overcome this episode. He has only scored one goal in 8 matches played since.
