The meeting between the French team and Ireland last Thursday (victory for the Blues 2-0) highlighted the current limits of Ousmane Dembélé, particularly in front of the cages. The player himself believes that he still needs to improve to be effective. An opinion shared by two former world champions: Didier Deschamps and Bixente Lizarazu.

Ousmane Dembélé was true to himself during the meeting once morestIreland last Thursday. The player of PSG continued to provoke the opposing defense and turn the heads of opposing players. But the 2018 world champion also experienced some difficulties, particularly in front of the cages. For Didier Deschamps, Dembele’s still has enormous room for improvement in this area.

Deschamps had challenged Dembélé

“I don’t know if it’s a problem because if all the coaches have problems like that, they will be smiling, like me. He has this ability to dribble, and obviously, adding efficiency to it will improve that. He takes initiatives to create danger for the opponent. I’m not talking regarding risk because it’s more for the defenders but efficiency is certainly a margin for improvement for him” declared the coach of theFrench team at a press conference.

“I remain hungry”

An opinion shared by Bixente Lizarazu. “I’m still hungry on the right side. Offensively, Ousmane Dembélé has legs of fire and is capable of eliminating anyone, with his speed and dribbling ability. But on his finishing, he must do better. He must progress. He has to work specifically in front of goal. And then I find that he places too much emphasis on the inside of the game when very often, it is on the outside where he manages to make differences” confided the former French international on the Téléfoot set.
