Dembele converted from 12 yards with his so-called 'weaker foot'.
Ousmane Dembele has got people talking after he decided to use his so-called 'weaker foot' during France 's penalty shoot-out win over Portugal at Euro 2024 .sent penalty-saving expert Diogo Costa the wrong way with a cool finish using his right foot – something that raised eyebrows during the shoot-out."So much respect for Dembele taking a right foot penalty," said one fan. "Caught Diogo Costa out dived the other way.
Dembele's ability with both feet is certainly admirable – and that unpredictability factor must be a nightmare for opposition defenders and goalkeepers."We had practised penalties and felt confident going into them,” said Dembele. “The Qatar World Cup final loss helped us in that respect. I think we all took the goalkeeper by surprise because we sent him the wrong way."
Didier Deschamps' side have scored just three goals in five games at Euro 2024, with two of those being own goals. Dembele, however, isn't concerned by those numbers. “That's how it is,” he added. “We play like that, those who are not happy, that's not my problem.“We’ve scored three goals but we are here in the semi-finals. It is the solidity of this team that means we are still here today.
