Speaking during the PSG Media Day with only ten days remaining before the Champions League final against Arsenal, Luis Enrique offered a glowing tribute to Ousmane Dembélé. The manager specifically focused on the player’s relentless defensive work, a trait he believes is often overlooked by critics and fans alike.
A vital asset for the collective
Luis Enrique emphasized that Ousmane Dembélé provides much more to the team than just his attacking flair. “Dembélé defends all the time, no matter the match or the minute. It is important to have him,” the coach remarked, underlining the player’s tactical discipline and physical commitment on the pitch.
The PSG boss noted that the French winger is too frequently judged exclusively by his offensive statistics. For the coaching staff, however, his ability to track back and support the defensive line is just as crucial as his dribbling or playmaking abilities. As the Parisian club prepares for its biggest game of the season, this defensive reliability appears to be a cornerstone of Luis Enrique’s strategy.
