The enhanced and more collective PSG's offensive weapon
In Paris Saint-Germain's recent Champions League victory over Real Sociedad, while Kylian Mbappe once again grabbed headlines, the spotlight also shone on the talent of Ousmane Dembele.
Since he arrived at PSG from Barcelona in the summer, Dembele has proven his worth, assuming a crucial role in the team. Despite having only one goal this season, his focus as a facilitator has enabled him to rack up eleven assists, surpassing his tally from last season with Barcelona.
In the last match, Dembele surprised everyone by playing as a forward, although his position on the field was more of a false nine. His ability to drop into empty spaces and act as an additional midfielder completely unsettled Real Sociedad's defense.
Dembele's tactical intelligence allowed PSG to control the game and evade the opponent's high press. His focus on facilitating play and creating opportunities for his teammates was evident in his assist for Mbappe's goal.
Although his contribution went unnoticed compared to Mbappe's, Dembele showcased his commitment to the team and his willingness to play any role necessary for PSG's success.
In a world obsessed with goals and the limelight, Dembele stands out as a player who values teamwork over personal recognition.
In a season where individual accolades often overshadow teamwork, Dembele's selfless approach serves as a reminder of the importance of collective effort in achieving success on the pitch. His versatility and willingness to adapt to different positions demonstrate a player who prioritizes the team's objectives above personal glory.
As PSG continues its quest for Champions League glory, Dembele's understated but invaluable contributions are sure to play a significant role in the team's pursuit of silverware.
