Dembélé opens up on being a leader and his hunger for more trophies | OneFootball

Ousmane Dembélé, a 28-year-old forward for Paris Saint-Germain and the French National Team, answered questions from the newspaper Le Monde. He was notably invited to comment on his new role as a "leader" at PSG, as well as his clear desire to continue winning in order to make history.

Dembélé "The coach advised me a lot to set an example. It's a role I really like."

Dembélé "We must forget them if we want to experience an extraordinary season again."

Dembélé did not arrive with the intention of being the "leader" of PSG, and that wasn't the idea. He mainly needed to make people forget the injuries he suffered at FC Barcelona and "help" Kylian Mbappé. But coach Luis Enrique asked more of him, and the space left by the departure of the now Madrid player seemed to benefit him.

PSG's number 10 has taken on a bigger role in the Parisian game, doubling his efforts to be at the top and contribute defensively. Clearly, he has become exemplary. He is logically grateful to the Parisian coach, who sought "more" from him.

We also expect the French international to continue in this direction, as does the entire PSG team. It has been interesting to see the pressing in the first matches, a sign that the collective is still very much there and that the Parisians have not forgotten the efforts needed to win. An objective they seem to have in mind. We hope this will be confirmed. It is necessary to continue making history. Even though the competition means there are no certainties.
