“What I just survived is stunning. I just have no words. It was an incredible year in PSG, for my career a lot happened. The fact that this award was presented to me by Ronaldinho, a football legend, is something exceptional.
I am proud of what I have achieved. I want to thank PSG, who signed me in 2023, the President, the whole club. Nader Al-Khalaifi is for me as a father. I also want to thank all the staff, who is just stunning, Louis Enrique, who is also a father for me.
I also want to thank my team partners, we won almost everything. You supported me. We have won almost all trophies, and this individual trophy is really a reward for the team.
I also want to thank all the clubs for which I performed: Borussia Dortmund, Renne, my native club, where I learned almost everything, and Barcelona, where I dreamed of playing, where I studied with such prominent players as Andres Iniesta and Lionel Messi.
The conquest of a gold ball was not my goal in my career, but it is something exceptional. I worked to win the Champions League, League 1, the France Cup, and to reward an individual trophy is something exceptional.
I also want to thank my team partners with whom I grew up, playing at the youth level, and thank the coach who always trusted me. Now we hope to win the World Cup in the last year of his work.
I would also like to thank my city of Heb, where I grew up and where I first played football. I try to go back there when I have free time; Its inhabitants are always near me.
I also thank my family who always supported me, my agent who always believed in me. He said that once I win a golden ball. I also thank my mom and my best friend who is always nearby, ” – suggests the words of Dembele L’Equipe.
Earlier it was reported that Dembele became the sixth French owner of the golden ball.
