Brazilian football icon Ronaldinho has heaped praise on Paris Saint-Germain’s Ousmane Dembele, highlighting the French star’s flair that echoes the spirit of Brazil’s finest.
Speaking to L’Équipe, the former PSG and Barcelona maestro shared his admiration for Dembele’s unpredictable brilliance on the field.
“He confuses, invents and provokes,” Ronaldinho said, noting how the winger’s style keeps opponents guessing.
Ronaldinho, a legend at both clubs Dembele has called home, admitted he keeps a close watch on their matches. He’s clearly taken by the 27-year-old’s evolution.
“He’s coming into his own, taking on a different role than he did at PSG last year or even at Barcelona before that,” Ronaldinho observed.
Dembele’s dazzling form this season has won over PSG supporters, a stark contrast to his rocky past. Once among Barcelona’s most despised former players, he’s now thriving in Paris, earning cheers where boos once reigned.
For Ronaldinho, it’s a sign of a player hitting his stride with a touch of samba magic.
