14:22 – Dembélé lack of effectiveness ?

Deschamps commented the start of the season for Ousmane Dembélé : "If in addition to everything he does very well, this ability à eliminate, it adds efficiency more important… If we take the example of the match yesterday, between his volley with his left foot and his shot into the area, these are two good gestures, çit's a matter of skill. a few centimeters. It can happen that he has a little less precision in the last gesture or in the area. If he arrived at concretize everything he does with goals, that would take on a little more value, weight. I am not taking away from him, and he knows it well, this ability to à destabilize the opponent. Obviously, it requires effort, it's sprints with the thrill rising. Have lucidity and technical accuracy after an effort is a little more difficult. But he knows very well that he has room for improvement in this aspect.

He no longer plays games at all. this position in a club."
