"Barcelona" midfielder Ousmane Dembele named the reason for his long-term injuries.
"I was young, like everyone else. I could afford to go somewhere. But it wasn't as common as you might imagine.
I constantly had injuries to the back surface of the thigh. It was necessary to work so that this did not happen. And then everything changed dramatically under Koeman. With Xavi it became even easier. Since then I have had no injuries. I feel great in Barcelona. I lost five years, but now everyone is talking about football and it's much better," Dembele was quoted as saying by RMC Sport.
