Ousmane Dembélé has taken some heat for reportedly refusing a loan move to Paris Saint-Germain that would have helped bringing Neymar back to FC Barcelona, but he has a French World Cup winner firmly in his corner, at least.
“Someone appeared, that finally, stands up to Neymar to say, ‘No, I don’t want it, I don’t want to accede to your demand, I don’t want to appease you, bow to you... I’m very, very happy with his reaction,” Petit said.
Petit, who scored the third goal in France’s 3-0 victory over Brazil in the 1998 FIFA World Cup final, was simply not impressed by the Brazilian’s actions.
