Ousmane Dembélé, Paris Saint-Germain’s 27-year-old striker, spoke to DAZN after the 4-1 victory over Lille (PSG/Lille video highlights) on Saturday at the Parc des Princes as part of the 24th day of Ligue 1 2024-2025. He spoke of the team’s excellent individual and collective form, as well as Wednesday’s Round of 8 first leg against Liverpool.
Dembélé “Everyone participates.”
How are you Ousmane?
Great! Great match today.
Is Luis Enrique’s mission accomplished today?
Yes, since the start of the season he’s been telling us to play good soccer. Everyone is involved, the midfielders, the defenders and the forwards. Everyone wants to be decisive. We’re on a very good run and we’re going to try to keep it going as long as possible.
Dembélé “It’s my positioning, but also the mentality.
Are you having fun on the pitch?
Yes, we’re having a blast, everyone’s attacking everyone’s defending and we’ve got a very, very close-knit team. That’s how we get results. It’s nothing but fun for 90-95 minutes.
What triggered your interest? Was it the watches?
No, it’s a bit of everything. It’s my positioning, but also the mentality, the desire to score goals, the desire to be decisive in every match. I get the ball, I believe in it more in front of goal. It goes in and I’m happy, my partners serve me very well. I always try to put it away.
Dembélé: “We’re confident, they’re confident and it’s going to be a great spectacle.
Is Liverpool’s preparation going well?
Yes, of course, even though I know it’s going to be a tough Champions League game. We know that Liverpool finished first and they’re also league leaders. We’re confident it’s going to be a great game, as are they, and it’s going to be a great spectacle.
