A former great PSG player welcomed Luis Enrique’s decision to sanction Ousmane Dembélé.
Ousmane Dembélé has been banned from the PSG squad until further notice. The French international is paying the price for behavior deemed “selfish” by his technical staff. A decision supported by the club management.
The Ile-de-France team could suffer from this decision on Tuesday during their clash against Arsenal in the Champions League. However, many believe that it was the right thing to do on Luis Enrique’s part. This is what Jérome Rothen, a veteran of the Parisian house, thinks in particular.
Dembélé doesn’t have too much support
“The attitudes of stars, as there were last season with Mbappé or the year before with Messi and Neymar, the club no longer wants them, they no longer want that. So, they sanction directly. It falls on Dembélé who is an international player, and certainly the best on the team. Too bad. Maybe he’ll fall into line soon.”he declared on his show Rothen s’ignée.
An opinion shared by the former French international, Emmanuel Petit. “The problem is sporting. Luis Enrique’s anger against Rennes is the result of an individual action. I can understand his desire to sanction him in relation to what he wants to put in place for the collective.”
On the other hand, Christophe Dugarry, the third thief, wants to be more cautious. He is waiting to know precisely what Dembélé did. “ It’s good to impose sanctions like that. But it has to be fair. If it’s not fair, your group may rebel and not understand. If it’s a decision that can be felt logically, so much the better, but if it’s to show muscle… For the moment, I can’t express myself because I don’t know what happened.” .
