Ousmane Dembélé lives a splendid period with PSG, chaining convincing performances. However, his start to the season was more chaotic, marked by doubts and criticisms. His agreement with Luis Enrique was not always perfect, but the Spanish coach seems to have found the key to getting the most out of his attacker.
Luis Enrique and Dembélé, a daring choice that changes everything
At the pre-match press conference against Toulouse, Luis Enrique surprised by saying that his best decision concerning Dembélé was not to have him play against Arsenal last October. “” The best thing I did with Ousmane is not to have him play in London. »» Without specifying what match he was talking about, this declaration intrigues. The Asturian technician seems to be convinced that this management was a turning point in his player's season.
A group with full confidence
Beyond Dembélé, Luis Enrique insisted on the current harmony of the Paris group: “The whole team is effective, not just a line, and it makes us very happy. »» This positive dynamic is based on a clear philosophy: giving each player the opportunity to express themselves. The coach recalled it by defending his rotation policy: “I often change my eleven, because 15 or 16 players involved, it's better than 11 or 12.”
The rise of João Neves, quickly integrated into the Parisian project, and the constancy of Fabian Ruiz, “One of the best environments” According to Enrique, this management illustrate. The Spanish coach knows that healthy competition stimulates performance, and Dembélé is today the perfect example. London's decision then appears to be a strong choice, which prompted the winger to raise his level, offering PSG a formidable offensive weapon.
