Luis Enrique responds to Dembélé: “Nobody is above PSG”

Tension at PSG: Dembélé questions the team’s attitude after the defeat

The Paris Saint-Germain is experiencing moments of tension after its 3-1 defeat against Rennes in Ligue 1. Ousmane Dembélé’s statements, questioning the attitude of the locker room, have generated an internal debate and have forced coach Luis Enrique to take a firm stance. After the match, Dembélé, who is a key figure in the team, emphasized the importance of prioritizing the interests of the club above individual ones. “If everyone plays for themselves, we are not going to win the titles we want,” declared the player, recalling the previous season where the team focused on the crest and the institution.

Luis Enrique’s response

In the press conference after the match, Luis Enrique downplayed Dembélé’s words. The coach made his position clear, stating that no player is above the club.

I will not allow any player to believe they are more important than the club. Not me, not the sporting director, not the president. No one is above PSG.

The coach attributed the statements to the frustration of the moment after the defeat. He insisted that he will not respond publicly to individual opinions of his players.

Message from authority

Luis Enrique sent a message of authority, reminding of his role as head of the team and ensuring that internal discipline will not be affected by comments made in the heat of the moment. His goal is to maintain unity at a crucial moment of the season. The defeat in Rennes has put pressure on PSG in the fight for the lead. Now, attention is focused on the cohesion of the locker room and the management of the coaching staff in the face of Dembélé’s statements.
