The relationship between Ousman Dembele and Enrique is experiencing a low point, and tensions between the two sides have escalated once again. L ‘Etat points out that Enrique was frustrated by Dembele’s red card against Bayern and played him only 20 minutes against Nantes on Saturday.
“All the losses, games and situations give the coach a lot of information,” Enrique told a news conference on Saturday. This information is critical to my decision-making now and in the future.” Dembele’s substitute appearance was no accident. Dembele has failed to live up to expectations since PSG spent 50 million euros to sign him in 2023. Dembele, in particular, failed to carry the load after Mbappe’s departure.
In fact, Enrique had decided to keep Dembele in Paris before the game against Arsenal in October after the player took issue with the arrangements in the dressing room. “He failed to fulfil his obligations to the rest of the team,” Mr Enrique said. While Dembele was forgiven after a conversation between player and coach, the reality is that the former Barcelona man is still performing well below his best.
