أشاد ديدييه ديشامب بأداء عثمان ديمبيلي ضد العراق قائلاً: "ربما الآن ستتوقفون عن مضايقته".
في تصريحات صحفية عقب فوز فرنسا المقنع على العراق، أشاد ديدييه ديشامب بشكل خاص بأداء عثمان ديمبيلي، الذي تضمن تسجيل هدف وصناعة آخر في الشوط الثاني.
Speaking to the press in the wake of France’s convincing win over Iraq, Didier Deschamps notably praised Ousmane Dembélé’s performance, which included a goal and an assist in the second half.
The reigning Ballon d’Or recipient was the subject of criticism over his underwhelming display against Senegal, although his captain leapt to his defence on the eve of Monday’s match in Philadelphia.
“Maybe now you [journalists] will get off his case now and find another target,” France’s head coach joked after the match. “There haven’t been any issues with him, he’s just adapting to a system he’s not used to playing in during the rest of the year. Once he’s in good form physically, it’s only a matter of making adjustments.”
“He has my confidence and he knows it. He’s not the kind of player who doubts himself, but it’s important that he did what he did today because he’s a decisive player.”
Dembélé assisted Mbappé’s second goal by intercepting a missed first touch by the Iraq goalkeeper Ahmed Basil. Around ten minutes later, he converted a one-on-one chance from close range after being played through by Michael Olise. The goal was the first of his career at a major tournament with Les Bleus.
