PSG press review: Donnarumma dropped, Dembélé shines | OneFootball

This Tuesday, August 12, the French press (on the sports side) focused on Paris Saint-Germain's decision to sideline Gianluigi Donnarumma (26-year-old goalkeeper) for the UEFA Super Cup to encourage him to leave. There is also an Ousmane Dembélé (28-year-old PSG forward) adored by everyone.

Le Parisien –

L’Equipe –

The situation around Donnarumma was already known to be quite complicated, especially with the official arrival of Lucas Chevalier (23 years old) from Lille. His sidelining is a strong choice, even unfair for some. We are cautious about judging a situation without knowing all the elements. In any case, the Italian is encouraged to leave to play. The Premier League is mentioned, but nothing is certain. Behind him, Matvey Safonov (26 years old) seems set to remain as the number 2/competitor.

As for Dembélé, he is indeed a forward who can appeal to coaches, teammates, and players. Not only because he knows how to create and finish chances, but also (and perhaps more importantly?) because he thinks about the team. Both in his passes and his exemplary defensive efforts. There is only a question about the timing of the article, following the commotion because Achraf Hakimi (26-year-old right-back) "dared" to position himself as a candidate for the Ballon d'Or. The entire media campaign can be exhausting.
