Ousmane Dembélé is going through a complicated period at PSG. The tensions with his trainer Luis Enrique are the talk. According to information revealed by The Teama key decision would have caused a crack in their relationship: the choice to entrust the penalties to Vitinha, and not to Dembélé.
A choice that surprises and disappoints Dembélé
After the departure of Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé was presented as the new leader of the Parisian attack. Naturally, he expected to inherit responsibilities, notably that of penalties. But it was Vitinha who was designated by Luis Enrique as official shooter, a choice which surprised and disappointed the French international. For now, Vitinha has justified the coach’s confidence by converting his two attempts this season.
A relationship more tense than before
Other events also strained the relationship between the two men, such as a delay in training or tactical disagreements. Although he tried to ease tensions at a press conference on Tuesday, Luis Enrique does not seem to have succeeded in completely dispelling the unease. “I want Ousmane to give the best version of himself”declared the Spanish technician.
