City is excellent, but we want to win / Dembélé: Donnarumma is the world's number one goalkeeper

Ousmane Dembélé says tomorrow's clash with Manchester City in Paris will not decide the champion, and most of the season is still to be played.

According to Sport Se, Ousmane Dembele, the French star of Paris Saint-Germain, on the eve of the crucial battle with Manchester City, says that his team has come to England without paying attention to the media hype and with complete calmness, only to win three points.

Ousmane Dembele talked about his mental and physical condition in the press conference before the big match against Manchester City in the European Champions League. In this press conference, Dembele talked about facing the Citizens, handling the pressure of the matches, his close friendship with Gianluigi Donnarumma and the way Luis Enrique manages player fatigue.

"No, we're not going to send a message to anyone," Dembele said when asked if Paris Saint-Germain wanted to draw a line for the European giants with this game. We are now in October and the season is very long. In the last two seasons, we experienced difficult times and we even made it to the playoffs. Tomorrow is a big match and there are many top players on the field. There will be other heavy games in the coming weeks."

The French winger said about his condition and the team's performance so far: "I am completely satisfied with the start of this season. We are taking the games calmly and I have a very good feeling about the future. We needed to react after a few games without a win in Ligue 1 and we need to prepare well to stay on the right track. I don't know if the team's progress is going to rise step by step or not, but our goal is to win all the competitions. The opponents are better known than us, but the team is completely calm and we know when the decisive games are coming. "We had a good start in the Champions League and we will continue our work with high concentration."

Dembele explained about the strong English opponent and the match against Donnarumma: "It is a big fight against a quality team and top-level pieces. We don't have an easy task ahead of us, but we will prepare in the best way to take all three points to Paris. This match does not determine the title, but we are hungry to win in all the games and we know what kind of atmosphere awaits us tomorrow. I have a very close relationship with Donnarumma and we talk all the time. In my opinion, he is the number one goalkeeper in the world. "He is a great friend and an exceptional defender who alone has the ability to change the fate of a game."

The Paris Saint-Germain star said about his absence in last Saturday's game and his rest schedule: "We played more than 50 heavy games in the last two seasons and it is the head coach who makes the final decision. Luis Enrique manages the workload and fatigue of the squad superbly and knows exactly what I need. The head coach agreed to rest me for Saturday's game, which is not unusual. He tells me whenever my body needs recovery. I am a competitive player and I like to be on the field in every match, but in a season with 70 or 80 matches, you can't be in every match. "I talked to the coach, took a few days off and rested with my family and friends to be completely fresh and ready."

Dembele went on to praise the young phenomenon of his team, Desiree Doue, and said: "Doue is one of the most talented footballers in the world today. Everyone is aware of his scoring ability and devastating dribbles. He is an amazing player and has a very bright career ahead of him, even if he has already scored in the Champions League final. A very big future awaits him."
