As Paris Saint-Germain prepares to face Stade Brestois, the home team’s coach, Éric Roy, acknowledged the formidable presence of PSG’s star striker, Ousmane Dembélé. Roy expressed his genuine happiness for Dembélé’s recent accolades, stating, he is a good boy, a great football player.
Roy further elaborated on Dembélé’s success, noting that his achievements were bolstered by both team performance adn individual statistics. He humorously added, We helped him a lot with that because I think he scored a lot against us.So we have a small piece of this Golden Ball.
Dembélé’s Dominance Against Brest: A Statistical Snapshot
The numbers don’t lie when it comes to Dembélé’s impact on matches against Brest. in their four encounters last season across different competitions,PSG emerged victorious each time. A significant portion of their 18 goals came from the former Dortmund and Barcelona forward, who personally netted seven of them. This scoring prowess has made him a consistent threat to Brest’s defense.
Roy highlighted Dembélé’s remarkable transformation, particularly his evolution in front of goal. What has been quite extraordinary is its evolution,
Roy observed. During the first six months of last season, he was stigmatized quite a bit, particularly on the fact that he could be a little clumsy in front of goal. And in the second part of the season, we saw him, with his position in the center, become a real serial scorer.
From Scorer to Complete Player: Roy’s Assessment
Beyond his scoring ability, Roy praised Dembélé’s all-around contribution to the team. But what I like most is that he was also rewarded for his ability to work for the team, the attitudes he had when he was at the opposing 18m, to be like a sprinter in the starting blocks, ready to emerge, to go and press the opposing goalkeeper, the central defender.
This dedication and work rate, Roy believes, signifies a player who can now do it all. This is proof that he has become a complete player and that he can do everything today. So, congratulations to him and then congratulations, of course, to those who coach him.
Having recently returned from a hamstring injury sustained in September, Ousmane Dembélé has quickly found his scoring touch again. His return to form was evident in Germany against Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League, where PSG secured a dominant 7-2 victory. Now, the French international is poised to reclaim his starting role in attack against Brest, a prospect that undoubtedly fills Éric Roy and his defensive unit with apprehension.
