Ousmane Dembele opened up his World Cup campaign for France with an assist in the 4-1 win over Australia and coach Didier Deschamps is hoping for more from the Barcelona forward.
France are back in action in Qatar against Denmark on Saturday, and Deschamps spoke ahead of the game about Dembele’s improved maturity and how he can improve his game further.
“Four years ago, he was going through a difficult time with major injuries. Now, he is more mature, but he is still full of youthful exuberance. He is in a club that is very demanding, and maybe he is better at that club,” he said.
