Touched on a thigh against Spain, Ousmane Dembélé made a “big mistake” by deciding to play this League of Nations match, estimates Pierre Ménès.

Ousmane Dembélé joined the infirmary. Released from the defeat of the French team against Spain (5-4), Thursday, June 5 in the semi-finals of the League of Nations, the tricolor attacker suffers from a lesion to the left quadriceps. An injury that prevented him from playing the third place match of the competition against Germany (2-0 victory of the Blues).

While his absence is estimated between two and three weeks, “Dembouz” has indeed made the trip to the United States, where Paris Saint-Germain is preparing to compete in the Club World Cup. But unless there is a huge surprise, the former Barcelonan will not play the first game of the tournament against Atlético Madrid this Sunday. It is also uncertain to face Botafogo (June 20) and the Seattle Sounders (June 23).

A blow for Parisians who could have been avoided, according to Pierre Ménès. The latter believes that Ooumane Dembélé should not have played this meeting against La Roja, which took place only five days after the coronation of PSG in the Champions League. Not to mention the festivities that followed.

Ménès on Dembélé: “It's a big mistake to have played this match”

“On Monday, he was in Roland-Garros presenting the cup. On Thursday after, he played against Spain. On Saturday before, he won the Champions League with festivities, solicitations. It is obvious that he was not mentally close. It's a big mistake to have played this match »Altered the former Canal+ star consultant on his YouTube channel.

And Pierre Ménès to specify that the fault does not have from Didier Deschamps who established him, but of the player who wished to play this match. “” It's bullshit, he insisted. Now, I imagine that Deschamps did not put a caliber on the Temple of Dembélé to play this match and that Ousmane felt capable of playing. »»
