On his injuries, Dembélé says: “In Barcelona, I have known a lot of injuries, the more the seasons passed and more, I injured myself … In 2019-2020, I only play five games (from Liga, and four apparitions in C1) … But no, I did not doubt. I was sure I was going to come back to the field and that everything was going to be fine. It's part of life, everything cannot be pink, we are not in the world of kisses. It was not easy, I learned a lot. At 28, I know my body, I know myself by heart. The sufferings were especially physical, linked to injuries. But I did not doubt my football, not a single second. I always liked that, I always had this talent, so I did not doubt. My body had to allow me to express my football. Over time, I got into maturity, I became much more professional too. I listened to the advice of people around me. Today, everything rolls. »» A testimony filled with resilience from the 2018 world champion.
