Shortlisted for the title of best player March in Ligue 1, Hatem Ben Arfa (sacred in January) and Ousmane Dembele splash all their class vintage 2015-2016.

the stats equivalent

Nice realizes so the best season of his career so far with 13 goals and four assists. That the tennis is just beginning, but already his statistics are staggering: 12 goals, five assists in just 20 league games. The remote duel that will engage the two best ballers of L1, Sunday at the Allianz Riviera (from 17 h), is salivating in advance all observers.

Dont Grégory Paisley, passed by Stade Rennais (January 2001-2003) and OGC Nice (2009-2011), before becoming field man for beIN Sports. Asked by 20 Minutes , to see who HBA or “Dembouz” is the best,
 the former defender believes that there is no comparison. “They have almost similar features, because it dribble, it strikes, but they are two different players. Do not look for complications hours. “



The memory of Ibrahim Ba

It is true that it is far, time of In Clairefontaine , and Ben Arfa ( born in 1987), no less, ten years older than the bretillien phenomenon (1997). “These are two great talents, continues Paisley. There is one who must confirm is Dembélé. The other is about to settle down. “Same story in the mouth of Patrice Ferri, another beIN consultant.
 The former Saint-Etienne therefore preferred debate on the influence of two lefties in their respective teams.



“Ben Arfa has over a leadership profile, so with the responsibility of animation offensive. really expected him to take the game to their account, whether the shutter button, which is not quite the case Dembélé. It is in a profile to Ibrahim Ba, that is to say a very fluid player in gestures and mobility. One feels quite impressive ease, and especially what we ask today is to keep this carelessness. “



Dembélé more mature and more … right

Looking more closely, Ousmane Dembele would still have an advantage over his elder. Less well surrounded in Rennes than is Ben Arfa in Nice ( “with Valere Germain or Alassane Pléa”), according to Ferri, the nugget native of Vernon (Eure) would also be “more mature at the same age”, says Gregory Paisley. Besides a right foot not serving him only to get on the bus.



“Being ambidextrous is an undeniable asset, says Paisley. It makes it more unpredictable. Hatem, we know that its search permanently left foot. But despite that, we can not stop it because it goes so fast on the first steps … “

Finally, he may have to wait until this weekend to decide between the two artists.
