Author of a double and a high-level match, Ousmane Dembélé was the main architect of PSG’s success (3-1) against Brest.
” A reference match? I don’t know. I just hope to play good matches and be consistent so that PSG wins.”. Ousmane Dembélé did not give in to the passion, Saturday evening, at the microphone of DAZN, after the victory (3-1) of Paris Saint-Germain against Stade Brestois. However, the face that the former Barcelona player showed in this clash between participants in the Champions League (Wednesday against Girona for Paris, Thursday against Sturm Graz for Brest), is exactly the one that Parisian supporters dream of seeing at each match.
Following his invigorating international window with Les Bleus, Dembélé regaled against a solid Breton side who led the score almost until the break. Sharp accelerations, repeated and audacious strikes and a desire to hurt. These are the ingredients that Ousmane Dembélé used against Eric Roy’s men, who could only see the damage.
To respond to Romain Del Castillo’s opening goal from a penalty after a foul by Nuno Mendes on Ludovic Ajorque (0-1, 29th), the 2018 world champion showed off the precision of his heading game by placing a nice header at the far post on an offering from Marco Asensio (1-1, 42nd). Everything is not yet perfect, but the pious wish he recently expressed – that of being more “killer” in the offensive phase – has a good chance of coming true in the coming weeks. The ex-Rennais is in any case on the right track, which is good news for Luis Enrique in this first season of the post-Kylian Mbappé era.
Ruiz shines with sumptuous goal
Ousmane Dembélé is obviously not the only one responsible for this fourth victory in four matches for PSG. Expected with bated breath by Parisian supporters after his very high-level Euro with Spain, Fabian Ruiz then struck in a register no less surprising than the heading game of “Dembouz”. The laser shot under the bar of the maestro of the Roja after a pass from Achraf Hakimi made the Ile-de-France stadium tremble and delivered PSG (2-1, 72nd).
Shocked by this devastating strike, Brest almost folded on the kick-off after having let Désiré Doué send Randal Kolo Muani deep. After a missed strike from the former Nantais, Dembélé scored a double thanks to an uncontrolled flat foot (3-1, 73rd).
Luis Enrique was smiling after the final whistle. And for good reason: the former Barça strategist knows that he is succeeding in his bet to make PSG play in a more altruistic and less heliocentric style.
