STRIKING WORDS FOR DEMBELE: HUGE REPUTATION BUT NO OUTPUT

L'Equipe, one of the leading organizations of the French sports press, sharply criticized the general career and insufficient productivity of the talented attacking player Ousmane Dembele, who wore the Paris Saint-Germain jersey, in the France National Team. That striking analysis published via @lequipe revealed that deepening huge gulf between the giant reputation the star football player had worldwide and his actual on-pitch contribution under the national jersey in all its nakedness. French sports authorities emphasized that the successful player, who was constantly shown among elite talents in his club career and changed hands with astronomical figures in the transfer market, fell far below expectations at the national team level. The French press sharply criticized this huge lack of scoring productivity despite the long times the talented player took on the pitch and conveyed that the player damaged the team greatly at the finishing point. It was stated that this statistic was highly insufficient for a player who took the pitch as one of the most important weapons of the attacking line and Dembele did not contribute to that general attacking power of the national team at the expected level. The experienced player, who secured a very solid place for himself in world football with his dribbling ability, speed, and unpredictable playing style, could not create the same destructive effect in the national team nicknamed Les Bleus. L'Equipe writers stated that the glorious image of the player in club teams almost evaporated the moments he took the pitch with the France jersey and he drew a very weak picture statistically. These heavy criticisms caused a wide repercussion in the sports public, and football fans started to discuss this incredible inefficiency of the player at the national team level in depth. It was loudly expressed that the technical committee needed to reconsider his role.
