Speaking to the media after PSG’s 1-1 draw in Reims, Luis Enrique assured that he was not looking to make Ousmane Dembélé his new star striker.

By scoring his fourth goal of the Ligue 1 campaign on Saturday, September 21, Ousmane Dembélé saved Paris Saint-Germain from defeat on the Stade de Reims pitch (1-1). This does not mean that the former Barcelona player is the new starting nine for the Parisians, in any case, his coach does not agree with this observation.

“What I want is for Paris Saint-Germain to score. I don’t care who scores at all.” he told reporters. Ousmane scored, that’s very good, but there is no particular pressure on this player or another, I want all the players to improve in attacking and defending,” he added.

Luis Enrique was then asked about Bradley Barcola’s level: “You can’t praise players when they don’t win, I understand the criticism in general, but I can tell you that I was satisfied” .

What about Paris’ performance during this meeting? ? “If I remember correctly: we haven’t really had easy away games, we knew it was going to be a difficult game, we suffered last year, we suffered again. (…) All the players who took part in this game fought and gave their all, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.”
