Currently managing Saudi Arabia’s Al-Ittihad club, the experienced coach gave high praise to the French footballer. According to Blanc, Dembélé showed a very strong and consistent performance this season and won all major trophies.
“Ousmane fully meets all the criteria. In football, consistency and winning in all tournaments is important. However, unexpected changes often happen in deciding the winner. It should be noted that not always does the player considered most deserving receive the Ballon d’Or. But Dembélé is one of those who can make a statement this year,” said Blanc in his interview with Le Parisien.
For reference, Ousmane Dembélé played in 49 matches for PSG during the season, scored 33 goals, and provided 15 assists. In addition, he won the Champions League, French Cup, Ligue 1, and the French Super Cup with his team. The statistics and tournament performances of the 28-year-old player are highly appreciated by experts and fans.
Thanks to these achievements, Dembélé being among the contenders for the most prestigious football award at the end of the year is natural. At the same time, the intrigue and unexpected surprises around the award, as always, lead to intense discussions. Currently, whether Dembélé wins or not is attracting great interest, and his performances this season are a major topic among the football community.
Dembélé’s presence among strong rivals and his fight for the award will remain one of the main topics in the football world until the end of the year. Time will show who will have the greatest influence on the fate of the Ballon d’Or. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
