Without any possible dispute, Ousmane Dembélé is making the best season of his career. Repositioned as a new number by Luis Enrique, the European and France champion gave an interview to France Footballin which he has returned to the stratospheric performance he has posted in recent months. The tricolor explained why to occupy an axial position had been of great help to him: ” When you arrive in front of the goal, you are a little cooler because you are really in the axis. (…) In addition, as soon as I touch the ball, I have one or two players to be eliminated before I can score or have scored. While if you are on the right, you have the winger, the left side, the return environment, the central defender … You arrive in front of the goal, you shoot up there! ».
Sacred top scorer in Ligue 1 this season, Dembélé was also the real spearhead of the Parisian attack in the Champions League, scoring 8 goals for this 2024-2025 campaign. And in addition to his role as a pure center-forward, the 28-year-old has a little habit before each meeting: ” Since the start of the season, I have started every game telling myself that I will score three goals. And then if it's one or two, it's good too. It seems rather to succeed.
