Dembele Must Comply With The Expectations Of The Team – Luis Enrique

PSG manager, Luis Enrique has come out to explain his decision to drop Ousmane Dembele for a trip to Arsenal. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, if any player doesn’t comply or respect the expectations of the team, it automatically means he is not ready to play the next game.

Luis added that the game vs Arsenal is very important for the club, so all of his players must be ready.

His words, “If someone doesn’t comply or respect the expectations of the team, it means they are not prepared to play. The match is very important and I want all my players to be ready, so as a consequence I have left him [Dembele] out. I want the best for my team and that is my job.

These circumstances are difficult and you have to take difficult decisions. But I am 100% engaged with my decision, and 100% sure of the decision I have made. It doesn’t mean this is irreversible, but I took the best decision for the team and that is why I signed here, to create a team that has a strong identity and has a lot of character.

I was also hired to win titles. I cannot guarantee that. But I can guarantee the rest, which is playing with a strong identity. The day I cannot do this I will go home. I have the support of the club’s president and the sporting director. I am here to create a team and in the future that might include Ousmane Dembele, just to be clear.”

WOW.
