PSG’s Champions League winner Ousmane Dembele says he’s not obsessed with the Ballon d’Or award.
The French international, who is one of the few players that has been tipped to win the award, stated this in an interview with the club’s website.
Dembele wonn the Champions League, Ligue 1, Coupe de France and French Super Cup this season with PSG.
“These are difficult things to say (aiming for the Ballon d’Or). But winning a Ballon d’Or, when you are a footballer, is obviously the ultimate on an individual level.
“It’s something you dream about as a child. I remember when they broadcast it on Téléfoot, when I saw the players receiving the Ballon d’Or, it was incredible. Just the object, the ball, is exceptional.
“Since I was little I wanted to bring joy to the people who come to the stadium. I like dribbling, but I’m also someone who helps the team a lot, who wants to score, who also scores.
“Then, everyone thinks what they want and votes what they want. If you like Ousmane Dembélé, good. If you don’t like him, life goes on. We’ll see.”
