Ballon d’Or: I wasn’t the chosen one – Dembele hits back at Mbappe
Paris Saint-Germain winger, Ousmane Dembele, has hit back at comments made by his international team mate Kyliam Mbappe.
Mbappe had drawn comparisons between his career path and Dembele’s
He seemed to suggest that there was a difference in their perceived ceilings and the expectations from fans.
Mbappe was quoted as saying: “Dembele? He was always seen as a talented player. I, on the other hand, was always seen as the chosen one.”
However, in response, Dembele told Ligue 1+: “I’ve always been at the back of the class, working hard.
“Throughout my career, I haven’t said a word, I’ve worked incredibly hard.
“As I said, I’ve never been the chosen one, but I worked hard, and last year I was rewarded with a fantastic year with Paris Saint-Germain. And this year, we’ll see how it goes, no pressure, just taking it easy.”
