🚨🎙️| Jamie Carragher on why people don’t really take Ligue 1 seriously after Ousmane Dembele winning Ligue 1 Player of the Season:
🗣️ “I’m sorry, but this is exactly why people don’t take Ligue 1 seriously. How on earth can a player win Player of the Season when he barely even played the season? We’re talking about a player who started NINE league games. Nine. That’s not dominance, that’s cameo appearances with good PR.
The French league started in August and Dembele spent most of the season either injured, recovering, being managed, or rested for Champions League football. He played his first full 90 minutes in APRIL. APRIL! We’re nearly at the end of the season and that’s the first time he completed a league game. That is unbelievable.
And people want to talk Ballon d’Or? Based on what exactly? Because if this is the standard now, then football is becoming popularity contests instead of performance analysis, the numbers don’t even back the narrative.
10 goals and 6 assists. He’s not Top 5 scorers. He’s not Top 5 assist makers. He’s EIGHTH in both categories. Eighth! There are players grinding every single week, playing 90 minutes every weekend, carrying smaller clubs, and this guy wins the award after basically playing football part-time.
It’s disrespectful to every Ligue 1 player that actually competed all season long. Imagine being a midfielder or striker who played 30+ matches, delivered consistently from August to May, and losing out to someone who was unavailable half the time because PSG and the league are obsessed with protecting star names.
This is why Ligue 1 gets labelled a joke. In the Premier League, La Liga, even Serie A, this never happens. You cannot disappear for months, play limited minutes, rank outside the elite statistically, and still walk away with Player of the Season. It kills the credibility of the award completely.
And I’ll say this now, if Dembele somehow enters Ballon d’Or conversations because PSG go deep in the Champions League, football has officially become an aura contest instead of a performance-based sport. Because his league season does NOT justify that level of praise whatsoever.”
"ME QUEDO EN EL AMÉRICA"
🗣️ "Para terminar con todo esto, quiero aclararlo, Monterrey me ha buscado 3 veces, pero mi respuesta es la misma, NO VOY A MONTERREY y además de que le debo todo lo que soy al Club América, no me pienso rebajar a ir a un club que tiene 3 o 4 ligas, mis objetivos siempre son los más altos y quiero ganar más títulos con el América, sé que el día que me vaya del América me va a doler muchísimo y quiero aprovecharlo. Amo a este club, amo a la afición más grande que es la del América y quiero hacer historia con el 10 en la espalda".
