Ousmane Dembele Addresses Ballon d'Or Talk, Ferran Torres Connection at PSG

After giving a new assist to Ferran Torres that helped PSG beat Brest (1-0), Ousmane Dembélé spoke to Ligue 1+ and didn't hide that he loved playing with the Spanish attacker.

First question: first victory in Ligue 1 this season. Obviously, it was imperative. Did it reassure you in that manner?

"Yes, we have played three matches. The first three Ligue 1 matches were complicated. Today, it was important to come and impose ourselves here at Brest. We know it is a difficult team. It is my fourth year; matches against Brest have always been difficult. They play well. With a kind of No. 9 who holds the ball well, they pose us a lot of problems. It was a good match today."

Ousmane, congratulations. Before you heat up the supporters for Le Classique, we see you in very great form- the Ousmane of the Ballon d'Or- so obviously I am going to take you there. We feel you are very serene, very calm, very silent on the subject, while others are running campaigns. Is that your strategy?

"No, I have always been like that. You know, I have always been at the back of the class, working hard. Throughout my career, I haven't said a word; I have worked enormously. As I said, I have never been the chosen one. But I have worked enormously. Last year, I was rewarded in a fantastic year with Paris Saint-Germain. And then this year, we will see. We will see without pressure."

A little word for the next Le Classique, obviously, to heat up everyone a little.

"Yes, it is going to be a big match. Also, I remember missing this match last season in Marseille (he was injured and had the Ballon d'Or ceremony that evening). It is always special there. Whether it is at the Parc des Princes or at Marseille, it is not bad either. And no, it is going to be a hot atmosphere. We cannot wait to be there."

We did not discover the relationship with Ferran Torres tonight. But it's getting more and more flagrant. We're going to review the goal with you, with your eye and your analysis. Because it is beautiful to see you play together, with a new assist for Ferran.

"Yes, we have known each other very well since Barcelona. I played with him for a year and a half to two years. He is a very mobile attacker. A true scorer, a true No. 9. We also play on the side. And no, it is easy to play with him. Frankly, he makes very good calls. I like to make passes from the back; it is easy to find him, and we talk a lot. So, with Ferran, it is very easy."
