According to Goal.com, Walid Acherchour, an analyst on RMC's 'L'After Foot' program, has warned that recent comments made by Dembélé could affect the atmosphere within the French national team.

Dembélé's post-match comments sparked controversy after PSG defeated Brest 1-0 in Ligue 1's fourth round on Sunday evening.

Dembélé spoke about his chances of winning the Ballon d'Or, stating that he is accustomed to working quietly and has never been "the chosen one." His remarks appear to echo recent comments from Mbappé about the same award.

In the match, Dembélé provided an assist to Ferran Torres for the only goal. He said: "I've always been like this, at the back of the line, working hard. Throughout my career, I've never said a word, but I've always worked very hard. I've never been the chosen one, but I've always fought hard. Last year, I was rewarded for having an outstanding season at PSG, let's see this year. Without pressure, I'm calm."

Acherchour connected Dembélé's statement to Mbappé's earlier comments.

Mbappé, when discussing his chances of winning the Ballon d'Or, has emphasized that he is constantly regarded as "the chosen one."

Acherchour believes Dembélé may have interpreted these words as directed at him.

Acherchour stated: "This could cause problems for the French team because Mbappé's words can be interpreted that way. I'm confident Dembélé may have taken it as directed at him."

Acherchour also noted that it's no coincidence Dembélé repeatedly mentioned "the chosen one" in his post-match comments after the Brest game, especially considering how quickly such statements spread on social media. He said: "What Dembélé did tonight in Ligue 1 is not straightforward. He repeated the exact phrase that Mbappé used... We all know what's happening on social media lately, how quickly content spreads, and in my opinion, he didn't just say it casually."

Acherchour ultimately emphasized the need to continue monitoring the relationship between the two players, as both have reached new heights at their respective clubs. He believes that what unfolds between Dembélé and Mbappé deserves attention, both at PSG and within the French national team.
