Basten: Dembele plays like Cruif

Dutch football legend and 3rd-time Golden Globe winner Basten gave a high praise to Paris Saint-Germain striker Dembele when participating in Ziggo TV. He said bluntly: "The way he played (Dembele) reminded me of Cruyff, especially like the 'pseudo-9' style of playing." Although Basten emphasized that he was referring to the "playing method" rather than the ability level, being comparable to Kristian is undoubtedly a top praise. Basten pointed out: "Starting the middle of the season, Dembele's position changed - from the wing to the middle. His freedom has improved, which has also driven the overall improvement of the team." This tactical adjustment has become the key to Paris' offensive football this season.
