Returning to competition during the trip to Bayer Leverkusen last Tuesday, Ousmane Dembélé started on the bench. Instead of the Parisian number 10 at the forefront of the attack, Luis Enrique chose to bet on Désiré Doué.
Positioned in false nine, the neo-Tricolore took the opportunity to score a double. A great performance which the Spanish technician returned to at a press conference.
“He’s obsessed with dribbling”
Luis Enrique was not entirely convinced by this experiment. He particularly noted a lack of comfort for Doué in the center, unlike on the flanks, where the player can fully express his qualities.
“ Despite his double in Leverkusen, we felt that it was less natural for Doué. He needs to start on one side more because he is obsessed with dribbling to clear his opponent. It's easier to get there from there than on the main road where there are often traffic jams », Analyzed the Asturian.
