The subject will continue to be talked about until September 22, the date of the Golden Ball ceremony. After an edition marked by Rodri's surprise victory before Vinicius Jr, the trophy should be played this year between Ousmane Dembélé and Lamine Yamal.
The Spanish prodigy, author of a breathtaking season, does not hesitate to approach the subject. Before the semi-final of the League of Nations against France, he had fun making this meeting a decisive turning point in the Golden Ball race between him and Dembélé.
Ousmane Dembélé triumphed in the Champions League with PSG.
This is the big difference with the Paris Saint-Germain striker. Even when he is cooked on the subject by France FootballOusmane Dembélé is struggling to admit that he aims at the Ballon d'Or. “These are difficult things to say,
he replied. But, winning a Ballon d'Or when you are a football player is obviously the Grail individually. This is something that makes you dream when you are little. I remember when it was in Telefoot When I saw the players appear to receive the Ballon d'Or, it was incredible. Just the object, the ball, it is exceptional. »»
Dembélé candidate for victory in the Ballon d'Or? His answer …
Ousmane Dembélé could be the next one to raise the trophy. But even when France Football tells him that he is one of the main contenders, the former Barcelona played the Modesty card. “I hope to be in the thirty names already, he admits with a smile. I have known difficult years with injuries, bad performances too … This season, I think I have been efficient, so we'll see what will happen. It would be exceptional to have my name in the list. And being one of the favorites is already a big victory even if I hope to win it one day. »» You will note the “day” and not the “this year”.
Finally, we have confirmation that Ooumane Dembélé is like Paris Saint-Germain this season. It is the team above all, no player draws the coverage. And if there must be a star, then it is the coach Luis Enrique.
“Yes, he's the boss,
valid Dembélé. It is he who decides, if you are good you play, if you are not good you do not play. If you don't make the efforts, you go to the sidelines. He brought this mentality to Paris-Saint-Germain. He is completely right, it is thanks to this that he created this collective, that we are much stronger and that we all think of the group before thinking about ourselves. This is the path to follow if you want to win great trophies. There is also the tactical aspect: it is a very, very large coach who won in Barcelona, who has ideas. Whether you like it or not, it will never give it up. »» This approach brought back a Champions League to PSG. And soon the Ballon d'Or?
