Ousmane Dembele is the most influential player in the world: Luis Enrique

Ousmane Dembele joined PSG last summer from Barcelona

After Ousmane Dembele’s display against AS Monaco, Luis Enrique was all over the Frenchman. On Friday, November 24, the former FC Barcelona player scored for Paris Saint-Germain in the team’s Ligue 1 victory over Monaco.

Following the November international break, Ousmane Dembele has been demonstrating in the French league that he continues to demonstrate his sceptics wrong. The former footballer for Borussia Dortmund has already faced a great deal of harsh criticism because of his dubious summer move from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain.

In order to get a player who had cost Barcelona an enticing €135 million in the summer of 2017, the Ligue 1 superpower took use of a 50 million euro release provision in his contract. This caused tension between the two teams, with the Blaugrana feeling deceived by their previous record signing.

To put it mildly, he had a less than stellar debut at the Parc des Princes. Dembele found it difficult to make a significant impact and his terrible showing was disappointing. Recounted protests followed, along with rumours of a January departure.

On the other hand, Paris Saint-Germain and AS Monaco engaged in a crucial match at the top of the league.

The visitors had led the Ligue 1 league for a period at the beginning of the season, but they faltered recently as PSG has been in complete control.

This feeling was made abundantly clear as the Ligue 1 regular season champions routed the team from the micronation 5-2.

Dembele was a persistent threat the entire game, recording a goal and an assist. The French international has only contributed four assists and one goal in 16 games since the start of the campaign.

After the game, head coach Luis Enrique was full of praise for his hitman

He said; “Ousmane Dembele is the most influential player in the world, His goal was 100% pure. A left control with the outside of the ankle and a spectacular right shot that lodges in the top of the goal”.

“This goal rewards him. It’s good. Despite all the noise around him, I have been delighted with what Ousmane has been doing since day one.”
