I’m left-footed but shoot better with my right – Ousmane Dembele

in sport •  6 years ago 

Bacelona and France forward, Ousmane Dembele is known to possess a special and quintessential talent, and his frightening potential once again came to the fore on Sunday evening, Daily Mail reports.

The 21-year-old forward scored a sensational winner from range to help Barcelona to a 2-1 Spanish Super Cup win over Sevilla.

It gave the Nou Camp side their first silverware of the season, but it also ended a long-running debate as to whether Dembele is left or right footed.

Seemingly comfortable using either side, some supporters had questioned whether Dembele had a preference for his right or left.

However, after the goal, eagle-eyed fans on social media, quickly pointed out a video from 2016 which shows the player himself clearing up the confusion.

Speaking while at Rennes, Dembele revealed that while he prefers to use his left foot in open play, he regards his right foot as more potent when shooting.

“I’m left-footed,” he replied when asked about his favoured foot.

But with the interviewer well aware of his preference to take penalties with his right, Dembele was pressed further on the issue.

“(I take penalties like that because) I shoot better with my right,” he added.
