Sixteen dribbles in a single match is a number that only players like Neymar or Leo Messi can produce, that's the number of dribbles that winger Ousmane Dembele produced this past Saturday against Mainz. The French youngster has landed in Dortmund with his right foot, he is called-up to become the most dangerous player they have, even more than Aubameyang who is already considered one of the best strikers in the world.
After the match, defender Leon Balogun spoke to the press about Dembele. The comments he made prove that this is a player who has extremely impressive qualities: "This Dembele kid is unbelievable. I said during the game to Aubameyang: 'Woah! What did you buy there?' He's freaking amazing, unbelievable. I don't know how old he is - 18, 19?"
One of the attributes that surprised Balogun the most about Dembele, is his level of concentration inside the box and playing against two or three defenders. He is quick with his head and knows what he will do already before the ball reaches him: "He's so calm, very skillful, his speed is unbelievable. So congrats to Dortmund for getting that kind of player. I think they will have a lot of fun with him. He has a great future ahead."
