Chuameni talks about Dembele's role in the France national team

France midfielder Aurelien Chuameni spoke about the important role that striker Ousmane Dembélé plays in the national team. In France's first match of the 2026 World Cup against Senegal, Dembélé started the match but did not score any goals and was substituted in the 80th minute. "He is really a key member of the team," confirmed Tchuameni. "He is the one who laughs the most, makes others feel at ease, is always in a good mood in the morning. On the field, he is the link between midfield and attack. He is the leader of our team. It is a great luck that we have a Ballon d'Or holder in our team. I don't know if people realize this, but it is great," according to Actu Foot's account on the social networking site X. In the next rounds of the group stage, France will play against Iraq (June 23) and Norway (June 26).
