Dembele has transformed from an "e-sports player" into a popular Golden Globe Awards. Why can he shine in Paris?

Dembele's career is like a legendary script. From Dortmund's popular chicken to the "problem children" in Barcelona, ​​to Paris Saint-Germain's "new thighs", he has experienced the trough and rebirth of his career. In 2017, Dembele joined Barcelona for a high price of 105 million euros. However, his injury-ridden and rebellious personality made him a "parallel" in the eyes of fans.

However, after switching to Paris Saint-Germain, Dembele seemed to usher in the second spring of his career. In the 2024/25 season, Enrique transformed him into a "pseudo No. 9", making him feel like he was in the offensive end. He scored 30 goals and assisted 6 times in 37 games in various competitions, directly breaking the team history record maintained by Mbappe. Now, Dembele has not only become a popular candidate for the Golden Ball Awards, but has also participated in the creation of 23 goals since the beginning of 2025. All these changes are inseparable from Enrique's tactical adjustments and Dembele's own efforts.

Demberle's success is not accidental, and it is driven by multiple factors. First, Enrique positioned him as a "pseudo-9", allowing him to fully utilize his passing and shooting skills. Secondly, Dembele itself is gradually changing, training is no longer late, diet is also begun to be controlled, and even game time is reduced.

More importantly, Mbappe's departure brought more freedom to the frontcourt, giving Dembele more opportunities to hold the ball and fire. Today, Dembele's performance in Paris has attracted widespread attention, and both his skills and his attitude are proving that he is a true football genius.
