Ousmane Dembélé had a Euro 2024 that we will modestly describe as “contrasted”. Except for his entry against Portugal in the quarter-finals (0-0, 5-3 pen), the Parisian was never able to pull his team up during the tournament. A lack of influence that had also pushed Didier Deschamps to do without his services in the 1/8 against Belgium (1-0). If the coach of the Blues has nevertheless often shown himself to be protective of his player, this is not the case of the former coach of OM, Jorge Sampaoli, vehement when discussing the 27-year-old winger.
Called upon to decipher the game of the Blues at the Euro by the magazine So Footthe Argentinian did not mince his words: “When he overflows, the other players are like spectators watching how the action will end. They know that he plays like an autistic person: he starts the action and finishes it alone. He does not have the ability to make a teammate shine, he only knows how to make himself shine”he criticized.
