Since his expulsion against Bayern Munich on November 26 in the Champions League, Ousmane Dembélé has no longer been started by Luis Enrique. Substitute for the FC Nantes reception at the Parc des Princes, the French international was again on the sidelines Friday evening at the Abbé-Deschamps stadium.
After this new draw (0-0) on the Auxerre pitch, Giovanni Castaldi underlined the discomfort existing between the Parisian number 10 and his coach. “His behavior has changed, his nervousness, his frustration, there is no longer any glance between the two men. It’s striking what’s currently happening at PSG. What happened at Arsenal was badly experienced by Dembélé but also by part of the group. explained the sports journalist on the microphone of The L’Equipe Channel.
Dembélé-Luis Enrique, the discomfort is deep
Coming into play after the hour mark in place of Bradley Barcola, Ousmane Dembélé did not score any points. “We are incomprehensible on the part of certain executives about the rigidity of Luis Enrique, and in particular concerning this player, who is considered essential by the locker room. Obviously, he shows waste in his game and misses a lot of opportunities. But last year he was the driving force on the pitch and in terms of positive attitude,” recalls Benjamin Castaldi’s half-brother.
Tuesday evening, PSG will undoubtedly play their most important match since the start of the season. Facing RB Salzburg, during the sixth day of the Champions League, Ousmane Dembélé is not likely to recover since he will be suspended for this meeting.
