David Ngog, a former Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool striker among others, was invited by Le Parisien to comment on the development of his counterpart Ousmane Dembélé (28), having crossed paths with the current international when he was only at the start of his career.
“Impressed by his development? I met him when I was playing for Reims and he was at Rennes. He was already just as quick with his right foot as with his left. One-on-one, he is formidable. He has improved physically, gained in maturity, and today he is at the peak of his game. He dominates in the league and proves decisive in the Champions League. Every time he touches the ball, you can feel he can make the difference. That is the mark of the very greatest players.”
Of course, Dembélé inspires admiration. He is one of football’s “magicians”; he can produce surprising things almost at any moment. Not all the time either—this is still football. But he is absolutely capable of those actions that “make the difference” and leave a lasting impression.
It is all the more impressive today because he is a player who has often had to deal with injuries and frustrating inefficiency in front of goal. It was hard to imagine that he could improve in those areas, but the breakthrough came at PSG. In part, certainly, thanks to coach Luis Enrique and the staff, with his move to the center of the attack proving a great success. It is one of the biggest masterstrokes in football in recent years. But Dembélé’s work should not be minimized either, of course.
