Ousmane Dembélé reveals that manager Luis Enrique will bench him if he fails to press, underscoring the collective commitment among PSG's forwards to a defensive work rate.

Paris Saint-Germain forward Ousmane Dembélé has made it clear that defensive effort is non-negotiable under manager Luis Enrique. In a recent press conference, Dembélé stated that if he does not press, Enrique will bench him, highlighting that PSG's attackers have fully bought into the defensive vision.

“If I don't press, I will be on the bench,” Dembélé said. “The manager demands that everyone contributes defensively, and we all understand that. It's not just about the defenders; we attackers have a responsibility too.”

This commitment to pressing from the front has been a hallmark of Enrique's tactical approach, and Dembélé's comments suggest that the squad has fully embraced it. As PSG prepares for their Champions League campaign, this defensive solidarity could prove crucial.
