Enrique hails Dembele, praises Toure after PSG’s win over Bratislava
PSG coach hails 'marvellous' Dembele after the French forward scored two goals in PSG's 6–1 win over Toure's side.
Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique has hailed his Ballon d’Or-winning forward Ousmane Dembele for a “marvellous” performance as the French club began their bid to claim a third straight Champions League title with a big victory.
“That was the Ousmane that we all know and that we have seen over the last three years, and when you see the ability he has to create and to press, to help the team, it is a real pleasure,” PSG’s Spanish coach said after Dembele scored the first two goals in PSG’s 6-1 thrashing of Slovan Bratislava on Wednesday.
Prior to this, Dembele had been used sparingly in PSG’s matches so far this season as he builds up his fitness again after the World Cup.
Enrique was also full of praise for his opposite number Yaya Toure, who is in charge of Slovan this season, despite the heavy defeat for the away side.
