The season ratings for the Nigerian Premier League (NPL) were released on Wednesday, with Dembèle's team performing well, earning them the second highest season rating in the league.
According to the league's official website, Dembèle recorded a season rating of 21.86, which is higher than their previous season ratings of 20.45 and 21.95 respectively. This performance was particularly impressive given that Dembèle had been struggling financially throughout the season.
The team's success can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, they have a strong squad with experienced players who perform well together. Secondly, they have been able to attract top quality signings from abroad, including Nigerian international defender Femi Oshin and midfielder Ademola Edobara. These signings have added value to the team and helped them improve their performances.
However, there has also been criticism towards Dembèle's management. Some fans and analysts have accused them of not providing enough support and resources to their players, leading to poor performances. However, it is important to note that the NPL is a highly competitive league and players' performance is influenced by many factors beyond just their own efforts.
Overall, Dembèle's season ratings in the NPL are commendable, but they should strive to continue improving their performances in future seasons.
