Dembele: Mbappe fully deserves the Ballon d Or and I firmly believe that one day he will win it

October 22nd, in this round of the Champions League, ten-man Paris defeated ten-man Bayer Leverkusen 7-2. Paris forward Dembele was interviewed by Canal+ after the game.

Talk about the game:

"We started well and scored the first goal, but then went through a difficult period with frequent yellow cards and even red cards. I think that red card could have been avoided. But Douai's two goals kept us competitive and we took control of the game naturally. We have to keep this momentum, after all. This is only the first half of the season. Whether in the league or the Champions League, we need to strictly abide by discipline and move forward steadily. "

Regarding personal status:

"My current state is that it is difficult to return to 100% condition immediately after returning from injury, but the coach advised me to wait for this game. I feel very comfortable during the game and am gradually regaining my feeling for the game. "

Talk about life in Paris:

"As long as I still have the desire, I will stay in Paris. It's an honor to score in the club's 100th game milestone and I look forward to continuing this performance. When I'm injured, I'm always eager to get back on the court, but this time I chose to be patient and recover. It's not in its best shape yet, and I hope to return to the green field in a better shape. "

Comments on the team's performance:

"We started well, and although the game was a bit chaotic later on, Paris has always been good at using space to fight. Vitinha is our pacemaker and he is continuing his excellent form from last season. "

Does Mbappe deserve the Ballon d'Or?

"Throughout his career, he is fully worthy of this honor. At the beginning of this season, he performed amazingly and continued to score goals. As a good friend, I hope he can continue, and I firmly believe that one day he will win the Ballon d'Or. "

Emphasis on competition Technical standards:

"If you are not at 100% or do not give your best, you will not be favored by the coach. If you want to play, you must go all out. From the beginning of the season, we have determined to reach the top eight of the Champions League and we will continue to work hard for this goal. "
