Ousmane Dembele

“I had a poster of Iniesta. He seemed like a different player to me: elegant, special... a genius. I watched all the Barcelona games to see how they played and the geniuses, Iniesta and Messi. After, I tried to imitate them, but it was difficult.”

“Coaches often sting me to get the best of me. I am used to it.”

“It's difficult to adapt to Barcelona.”

“I have always wanted to play for Barca since I was a kid. I watched all their matches.”

“I am not the only player who plays with both feet. There are a lot. Here at Barca, too. I have always, since I was young, wanted to play with both feet, not just one, because it limits you.”

“I'm not a phenomenon; I'm just trying to be decisive for my teammates. There are a lot of talented young people in football.”

“You have to have something in your head to understand the Barcelona play. You have to adapt as quickly as possible.”

“I don't see myself as the ultimate star. There are other good players.”

“Whenever I see that a teammate is in a better position, I will pass the ball.”

“I had a beautiful relationship with Auba. Too bad it only lasted a year. For me, a guy coming from Evreux, meeting Aubameyang meant a lot.”

“I'm left-footed.”

“I feel good in Dortmund.”

“I can't fully rule out that I lose my temper sometimes.”

“I like to dribble and give the decisive pass to my teammates.”

“It is an honour and a pleasure to be able to play with Leo Messi. I want to learn. He is the best player in the world and in history. I am delighted to be able to share costumes. I want to learn a lot from him on and off the field.”

“It's important not to lose a ball. It's rare for the team to lose the ball. You have to be careful.”

“Barcelona is the best club in the world, and I am looking forward to playing with some of the best players in the world, such as Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi. I will do everything possible to contribute to this team.”

“I'm not here to substitute Neymar. Barcelona needed a player in my position, and I'm here to help.”

“Messi always plays at a sublime level. He's the best player in history.”

“I spent six wonderful years at Stade Rennais... I'm proud of what I've achieved at the club.”
