PARIS (FRANCE) (ITALPRESS) – The atmosphere in Paris was heated after Paris Saint-Germain‘s abrupt defeat, a surprise defeat by Stade Rennais and forced to relinquish their top spot in the table. At Roazhon Park last night, PSG were unrecognizable, a distant relative of the team that only a few days earlier had swept De Zerbi’s Marseille with a 5-0 victory. Among the stars of the evening was Ousmane Dembélé, welcomed with full honors by the fans of the club that trained him before his transfer to Borussia Dortmund. The Frenchman, now the Ballon d’Or winner, scored PSG’s only goal, which was immediately cancelled out by Embolo’s final 3-1 victory. After the match, the striker didn’t hide his frustration and spoke bluntly: “Last season, we put the club before ourselves. We need to rediscover that spirit, especially in games like this.” His analysis became even more direct: “We need to show more desire. If everyone plays for themselves on the pitch, it won’t work; we won’t win the titles we want.”
These statements didn’t go unnoticed and prompted an immediate reaction from coach Luis Enrique. At the press conference, the coach responded peremptorily: “I will respond in Spanish. I will not allow any player to harm the club or stand in its way!” He then further clarified his position: “I am very clear on this. I am responsible for the team. Those statements are worthless. They stem from frustration over the match that just ended.”
