Within a French team orphaned by Antoine Griezmann, the heart, the brain and the most creative player of his selection, Ousmane Dembélé took on his responsibilities this Saturday evening in Lyon. In a completely different register from his former partner at FC Barcelona, the Paris Saint-Germain winger brought that little spark and that dose of carefreeness necessary to wake up a very pale French collective lacking imagination. Even if, as usual, everything was not perfect, especially in the finishing, a perpetual problem for him, and with avoidable ball losses.
After having recently occupied a role of hybrid playmaker at PSG which had moved him away from his favorite right lane, the number 11 of the Blues (26 years old) found against Germany (0-2) his zone of favorite activity, closer to the touchline where he can showcase his provocative qualities.
