Ousmane Dembélé has been shining as a No. 9 in recent matches for PSG, a transformation that has impressed his coach, Luis Enrique.
The once erratic finisher has turned into a clinical goal scorer, with 19 games and 16 goals in Ligue 1 this season. Previously stationed on the right wing, Dembélé is now flourishing in a central role. Luis Enrique credits his exceptional movement.
“I will always defend technically gifted players like Dembélé, but we also have to acknowledge his providers: Barcola, Ramos, Doué, Lee, and Kvaratskhelia. His movement inside the box is outstanding. He is always in the right place and can finish in one touch,” analyzed the Spanish coach.
Enrique further emphasized Dembélé’s evolution: “We knew him as a winger, but now he moves everywhere. He plays as a No. 9, not just on the flank. The whole team benefits from his progress.”
A remarkable transformation that is paying off for PSG.
