Patrice Evra names Ousmane Dembele France’s Player of the Tournament so far at the 2022 FIFA World Cup
Ousmane Dembele has been impressive for France at the 2022 World Cup so far. This has been Kylian Mbappé. In fact, the Paris Saint-Germain superstar has scored three of the six goals France have scored so far at the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
But it is Ousmane Dembele, and not Kylian Mbappe, who is France’s player of the tournament so far in Qatar 2022. That’s according to Patrice Evra.
Patrice Evra also said that he was impressed with Antoine Griezmann and that he is not surprised by the form of Kylian Mbappe in Qatar.
“Ousmane Dembele is doing more than Mbappé. Dembélé is destroying all the sides. For me, he is the player of the tournament in France so far. Antoine Griezmann has impressed me. He has been a key player”, said Patrice Evra.
“Mbappe, I’m not surprised. He is breaking records, he already has three goals”, added Patrice Evra. “But Dembélé is a threat every minute. Every time he’s had the ball, he’s been a threat. That is the player that I hope will stay in shape, because he is the most threatening player in France ”.
