o<\/span>Usmane Dembele interviewed French Football on the occasion of Ballon D’Or. Just this Friday, the score for Barondoro, whose PSG attacker won the award 321 points ahead of Ramin Yamal was announced.<\/p>\n
First of all, congratulations. “It was from Messi. We were also blessed by many former Barcelona players. They were happy. There were no PSG teammates in the video, but there were messages from coaches, coaches (Luis Enrique) and Luis Campos.<\/p>\n

First nomination and Ballon d’Or: “When it’s a Champions League that weighs heavily on a season without a World Cup or European Championship, and a Champions League with individual statistics, I think you’re among the five best players in the world. That’s why at the beginning of each season, my recruitment says whether I’ll be in such a season, so I’m not going to say it’s unexpected.<\/p>\n
\n
Suffering was primarily physical and related to injuries. But I didn’t doubt my soccer, not a moment<\/p>\n

“The best player in the world” is a very big word. To me, it means nothing. It may change every weekend. In some games, you’re not good, people will say you’re a disaster. Next up, you’re the best in the world. It may change every two weeks. After that, you’ll get rewards more than anything else if you have a great season. You were the best player of the season.”<\/p>\n
Childhood Goal: “Yes, as a child, yes. And as time passed, I didn’t think about it… I didn’t think about it in my mind that I was going to beat Baron de Holle. That wasn’t an obsession.”<\/p>\n
“I got a lot of injuries in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bso if the seasons increased, I got hurt… From 2019 to 2020, I only played five games… But no, I didn’t doubt that. I was sure everything would go well. Injuries.<\/p>\n
“Please forgive my language. But I didn’t mind! I played my way. If you like it, you like it. If not, it takes it or you haven’t taken it.<\/p>\n
\n
If you have physical problems, it’s not easy to go back to the highest level<\/p>\n
dembl<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
“I have no regrets”: “No, I have no regrets. Yes. I have no regrets. To this day, I have learned a lot from the beginning of my career and it has helped me. When there are physical problems, your body listens to you, you listen to your body too, you can listen to your body. One season, not ten.”<\/p>\n
“The whole family was happy. Those who were there, those who weren’t. Just joy. This Baron is my mother. She raised me alone. I will devote myself to her and the whole family.<\/p>\n
“I can compare my goals against Tottenham (11 December 2018, against FC Barcelona, \u200b\u200b1-1, FC Barcelona in the Champions League group stage). I pushed my opponent a little and lost a bit of balance and recovered the ball. Essentially<\/p>\n
\n
During my seven seasons at Barcelona, \u200b\u200bI played mainly as a winger.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Goccorer Dembele. “Yes, I can score a lot. I didn’t play in the same position after that. At Rennes, I played two or three games as a winger, but I was right behind the striker. It’s not the same when I got close to the goal. During the season at Barcelona, \u200b\u200bI played mainly as a winger.”<\/p>\n
More central position with Louis Enrique: “It’s not the same to be a winger on the line like the fake 9, but it’s a free winger. Louis Enrique gives me a lot of freedom. I need it. I started it with Rennes. To give defensive, decisive pass… they’re not the same to me either.”<\/p>\n
\n
I played with Messi for seven years. Today I’m trying to imitate him<\/p>\n
dembl<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
“A player I admire? I played with Lionel Messi, a fake 9-year-old Lionel Messi in Barcelona,” Dembele said. “You had to see how he moved, how he made him forget about him, but he walked, but he knew very well that the ball would come to his feet because the basket saw him. He went everywhere. He suddenly saw it for seven years. Look.”<\/p>\n
\n
If you’re not hungry, go to the bench with Luis Enrique.<\/p>\n
dembl<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Hungry for more accomplishments: “Yes, of course. If you can’t win, if you’re not hungry, with Luis Enrique, you’ll go to the bench. Or we’ll sign another player.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
