If he once again provoked a lot in his lane, Ousmane Dembélé was once again very rough in finishing and had an incredible waste.
Ousmane Dembélé will still have to wait before unlocking his counter. After seven matches this season – five with PSG and two with the France team – the new Parisian still has neither a goal nor an assist. Aligned in his right lane against Borussia Dortmund, the French world champion was very active, both offensively and defensively. Multiplying the back and forth, he ended up with as many defensive interventions as Warren Zaire-Emery (5).
To his credit also, a good understanding with Achraf Hakimi. “ I get along very well with Ousmane Dembélé, we worked well together, the Moroccan underlined at the end of the meeting in comments relayed by Made in Foot. We really have a good understanding with Ousmane, I hope we will do great things together.» But if the former Interist, already a scorer during the clash against Olympique Lyonnais, showed his composure in the area by scoring the second goal of the match, the native of Evreux never found the gesture just despite several opportunities.
Thirty ball losses…
The Parisian No. 10 also showed a very significant waste. At the end of the match, he had no less than 30 ball losses, or 32% of the balls touched. Only one Parisian player has done worse under QSI in the Champions League: Neymar… Jérôme Rothen had an explanation for this new messy performance. “With Dembélé, I am left wanting more. He does good things, he’s confusing, but he wants to do so well that he overdoes it. His performances at the Park are not good because of that, he is always excited”he confided to the microphone of RMC.
However, Ousmane Dembélé can still count on the support of Luis Enrique. The Spanish technician reiterated all the good things he thought of his player. “If I was a fan of any team, I would buy my ticket to see them play. He has different qualities. He can miss three times, but he’s a player with magic. He may want to score his first goal, but that’s a normal process. He’s a wonderful player.”he said at a press conference.
