Ousmane Dembélé, Paris Saint-Germain’s 27-year-old winger, spoke to Canal + after the 0-3 win over Brest (video highlights Brest/PSG) on Tuesday at the Stade du Roudourou in the Champions League 2024-2025 play-offs. He spoke of his efficiency and the strength of his partners to serve him.
Dembélé “I have less running to do and I’m more lucid in front of goal”.
How has Luis Enrique managed to transform you, and how much responsibility does he bear for your transformation ?
As I said, I’m positioned more as a number 9. I have fewer runs to make and I’m more lucid in front of goal. I’m also very well served. Some of the goals I’ve scored I’ve just had to push into the back of the net, with Bradley and Désiré doing most of the work. I’m in a good position and all I have to do is finish.
Will you score more goals than Mbappé in 2025 ?
Yes, but we know Kylian Mbappé, and I’m sure he’ll score many more goals this season.
