PSG initiatives to promote Ousmane Dembélé in the Ballon d'Or race would have created tensions within the Paris team, forcing management to readjust its communication.
Does the Ballon d'Or sows the trouble at Paris Saint-Germain? In any case, this is what the information published this Thursday suggests by The team. Given as a favorite for the prestigious award, Ousmane Dembélé saw the French champion launching a real support campaign in his favor, in particular via its president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi and his coach Luis Enrique. A mobilization that would not have been unanimous internally.
Faced with the eddies, the Paris club would have decided to temper its support for the native of Vernon “to a certain extent”. The objective, not to offend the other Parisian contenders present in the Top 30, and also in the running for the supreme distinction. Among them, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Achraf Hakimi, Nuno Mendes, João Neves, Fabián Ruiz, Vitinha, Désiré Doué or Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Al-Khelaïfi plays the card of appeasement
Still according to our colleagues, certain reactions in the locker room would have pushed the management of PSG to review his strategy, anxious to defuse any form of jealousy around the number 10. In front of the workforce gathered this Thursday, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi would have rectified the shooting by ensuring that “all PSG players deserved” the Ballon d'Or.
