Julian Stéphan Praises Ousmane Dembélé as a Top 2-3 Global Talent
PSG’s crucial January clash: Ousmane Dembele in the spotlight
As the Parisian club prepares, all attention is on Ousmane Dembele. The French international has been a standout performer domestically, consistently finding the back of the net. This season, the talented number 10 has scored 9 goals and provided 7 assists.
Dembele, who sometimes plays as a right winger, is currently being utilized as a false number 9 by manager Luis Enrique. This strategic position enhances his unpredictability, allowing him to pose a greater threat on the field, despite occasional shortcomings.
In a recent interview, Julian Stéphan shared his thoughts on the former Barcelona player. He praised Dembele as one of the most formidable players with the ball in Europe. “I admire Luis Enrique’s management style. From the start, he only emphasizes Ousmane’s strengths. It’s important to focus on his qualities first. In terms of creating imbalance, he’s among the top 2 or 3 in the world,” Stéphan remarked.
Stéphan further elaborated, “Dembele playing centrally? It’s a very intriguing role for him. It allows him to create danger by finding spaces between the midfield and attack. This positioning can enable him to turn and accelerate.”

Will Dembele take center stage against ASSE?
Sunday night will see Paris Saint-Germain face off against AS Saint-Etienne at the Parc des Princes for the 17th round of Ligue 1. Leading the standings with a 4-point advantage over Olympique de Marseille, the capital club aims to extend their lead over their Olympic rival.
For this encounter, Ousmane Dembele is expected to start in the attack. It remains to be seen whether he will play centrally or on the right wing. Recent reports suggest he might reprise his central role.
Expected PSG lineup: Donnarumma – Mendes, Pacho, Beraldo, Hakimi (captain) – Neves, Vitinha, Zaïre-Emery – Doué, Dembele, Barcola
