the truth comes out about the Dembélé – Luis Enrique clash, the locker room in shock
The preparation for the match between Arsenal and PSG is disrupted by tensions between Ousmane Dembélé and Luis Enrique, leaving even the locker room in incomprehension.
PSG is due to play its first major European match of the season this Tuesday evening, but finds itself at the heart of an unexpected controversy. The sudden exclusion of Dembélé, following a confrontation with Luis Enrique after the match against Rennes, surprised many. A decision that the Spanish coach fully accepts, affirming at a press conference yesterday that he has the full support of management.
But is this decision by Luis Enrique too harsh? The locker room seems to disagree. To understand, we must return to the nature of this altercation, described in a similar way by L'Équipe and the insider Djamel, well informed behind the scenes of PSG. According to them, there were no insults or violence in the exchange between the two men.
If Luis Enrique did criticize Dembélé on certain sporting aspects, the latter would have simply defended himself without crossing any limits. This explains why some players are perplexed by the sanction, considered excessive. This strict attitude of the coach also raises questions internally about his “rigidity”. Will Luis Enrique emerge weakened from this episode?
Thus, tensions between Dembélé and Enrique continue to disrupt the preparation for the match, with members of the team believing that the situation has been disproportionately amplified.
