Didier Deschamps urges Ousmane Dembele critics to 'get off his case' after seeing France winger score first World Cup goal

During that game, the winger played 80 minutes before being replaced by Bradley Barcola, failing to complete a single dribble or register a shot on target. The manager stated: “Maybe now you [journalists] will get off his case now and find another target. There haven’t been any issues with him, he’s just adapting to a system he’s not used to playing in during the rest of the year. Once he’s in good form physically, it’s only a matter of making adjustments.”
