Former French international Samir Nasri believes that Luis Enrique was wrong to sanction Ousmane Dembélé.
Paris faces Arsenal this Wednesday evening. A meeting that the French champion team without one of its major players, in this case Ousmane Dembélé. The French international was left on the sidelines of the group because of a disagreement with coach Luis Enrique.
Many observers applauded the choice of the Spanish coach, highlighting the fact that he does not distinguish between his players regardless of their status. But others regretted the fact that he was so harsh.
Nasri judges Luis Enrique too harsh
In the second category we find in particular Samir Nasri. Speaking on Canal+ this Tuesday, the former French player indicated that “It’s shooting yourself in the foot » than depriving yourself of Dembélé. Because “it makes so many differences.” “His wait with Achraf Hakimi brings a lot”, he continued.
Nasri had an explanation for this punishment decreed against the Parisian winger. “He (Luis Enrique) wants to establish his authority too much. Because apparently, the tone is not that high between them. When you are a coach, you must not be stubborn. There is no need to sanction him. The player can have another reading”, he indicated. An opinion shared by former PSG player, David Ginola: “Yes, a sanction can also be through something else. They would have needed Dembélé against Arsenal.”
Laure Boulleau, who also played in Paris, also agreed: “I think it’s a very harsh decision. And I think it will disrupt the team. We find ourselves in a fracas with the press before a big match as always, despite the departure of the stars.”
