France team: Ousmane Dembélé receives a warning

Far from his impressive form since the start of the season, Ousmane Dembélé did not convince as much with the France team during the last international break. The Parisian player has received a warning in recent hours.

Uninspiring during the first France camp led by the new head coach Zinedine Zidane, Ousmane Dembélé (29 years old, 69 caps and 13 goals) is causing concern. According to Bixente Lizarazu, the Paris Saint-Germain forward will quickly have to address his problem with efficiency.

Lizarazu has a message for Dembouz

On Téléfoot on Sunday, the former left-back issued a warning to the 2025 Ballon d'Or winner. "Dembélé, given Zinedine Zidane's desire to implement a very high press, is the best player you could have. Because he is the first man in the press, because he is the one who sets the tempo. However, when you are the France team's centre-forward, you have to score more. That is a problem, even though we know he is capable of doing so with Paris Saint-Germain. With a player like Kylian Mbappé, we know he is very effective at scoring goals, but defensively, he is not much use," he said.
