Whether at club or national team, Ousmane Dembélé enjoys an almost indisputable starting status.
Last Thursday, Ousmane Dembélé honored his 52nd selection in the rooster jersey.
Didier Deschamps had chosen to start him as a right winger. As with his club Paris Saint-Germain, the former Barça player demonstrated percussion qualities but faltered in finishing.
Daniel Riolo does not understand that he appears almost systematically in the French eleven. “What does he do in the French team? He also has a sort of immunity with Deschamps. He still plays. Dembélé, we talk about it at PSG and we say that most of the attacks come from him. At PSG, he’s the star of the team, you don’t really have any other choice.” recalled the sports journalist on RMC.
Dembélé, an undeserved totem?
The Blues coach should be able to have other alternatives. “The French team, by definition, is a selection where you have a reservoir and where you could try to build something else, underlines Riolo. Hence the immunity totem we were talking about. He arrives and he starts. Does he deserve to still be a starter given what he brings? ».
This Monday evening, the Blues will face Belgium on the fourth day of
the League of Nations. Once again, Ousmane Dembélé should be started by Didier Deschamps.
