A perfect evening for one. Almost perfect for the other. Here is the observation when discussing the first tenures of Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé this season. While the number 7 of the capital club, author of a decisive double and acclaimed by an entire stadium, showed a disconcerting coolness, Saturday evening, during the clash won (3-1) against RC Lens , the new number 10 of the Rouge et Bleu, for his part, delivered an interesting performance but marked by a certain waste in the last meters. Presented before kick-off and warmly applauded by Parisian supporters, like the nine other Ile-de-France recruits (Luis Enrique was also in the game), the former Barça player indeed sinned in the finish.
Heroic Mbappé, imprecise Dembele
Imprecise in the last meters, he often got tangled up, like this wasted opportunity against Kevin Danso at the end of the first period (38th). Without consequence on the final result. Credited with a 6.5 by the FM editorial team, the former Blaugrana star was able to celebrate PSG’s first success this season. A victory acquired thanks to a Mbappé of the great evenings, allowing the Red and Blue to move up to fourth place. Aligned alongside Marco Asensio and his compatriot on the front of the Parisian attack, the native of Vernon has also, once again, made his technique and his speed speak in his right lane. Like his few minutes played against Toulouse last weekend, the French international (37 caps, 4 goals), with a few flashes, thus mystified the Lensois defenders on several occasions.
Read PSG: Kylian Mbappé’s big decision
A first outing filled with promise, just like the association formed with his friend from the France team. And for good reason. If the individual performances of “Kyks” and “Dembouz” can logically be dissociated after this prestigious success, the tricolor duo proved all that they could bring to Luis Enrique’s 4-3-3. With its two stars and contrary to the observation made after the draw conceded against Les Merlus (0-0), PSG thus has real depth and can constantly rely on the dribbling and speed of its two jewels . Like a pure winger, glued to the sideline, Dembélé does not hesitate to start from afar to unbalance the opposing block. More mobile on the front of the attack, Mbappé brings him all his sense of goal and his percussion in the last thirty meters. Two lethal weapons which do not taint, moreover, the defensive balance desired by Luis Enrique (who had not failed to make his mea culpa after his hot analysis against Toulouse).

A remarkable complicity…
Together, the two 2018 world champions, who have been rubbing shoulders for several years in the tricolor jersey, have also shown a very good bond. From the 30th minute of play, Dembélé served Mbappé perfectly but the latter stumbled on an imperial Brice Samba. In the aftermath, the former nugget of Stade Rennais found the Bondynois perfectly at the far post but his volley was finally repelled by the Lensoise rearguard. Throughout the meeting, the two Parisians thus sought to exchange. Vigilant to the movements of one and the other and always precise when reversing the game to find each other, the duo, overall, showed a very promising agreement. “Yes, they are two very important players for the team, they make the difference, they are very important to us, we get on very well and we create a lot of dangers together so I hope we will continue like this”declared Marco Asensio, tenured alongside the two Frenchmen and scorer against the Artesian club.
Asked about the contribution of Mbappé and Dembélé at a press conference, Luis Enrique did not hide his joy at having such players at his disposal but preferred, however, to insist on the collective performance achieved. “All coaches want very high level players like Kylian and Ousmane. But it’s not just because of them. It’s also thanks to Asensio, thanks to Vitinha, Warren, Marquinhos, Skriniar, Hakimi, Lucas, Danilo when he returned, Gigio… We are a team and we all have to achieve our goals.”. For his part, Manuel Ugarte preferred to enthrone KM7 as “The best player in the world” while the young Warren Zaire-Emery also insisted on the benefits of this new association. “Mbappe? It’s one of the best days in the world. Tonight (Saturday), he is playing a very good game. With Ous’ (Dembélé), they are there to create spaces for us with their qualities of speed and percussion. They did very well tonight.”. With an already decisive Asensio and the expected return of Gonçalo Ramos, number 9 by profession capable of providing this fixation point, the future attack of Paris Saint-Germain has, in any case, enough to make more people tremble. a defense this season…
