Saying that he could barely stand to look at them anymore, the father of a Dembele family without any footballers in it has today revealed that he struggles to hide his disappointment in his sons.
Speaking to assembled journalists this afternoon, an emotional Bertrand Dembele, whose six sons neither play nor like football, stated that it was getting increasingly difficult to hide his disgust with his offspring.
“I never thought about it for a long time. Frankly, I’m not even that big of a football fan. But when I saw all these Dembele players pop up I realised we could be onto something. But alas, no,” said the 62-year-old Parisian, who struggled to hold back tears as he admitted that his sons, who range in ages between 19 and 35, collectively hold zero international caps. “It is my shame.”
“I try to get by and not think about it. But every time one of them gets a promotion or passes an exam, it just reminds me of all the goals they haven’t scored and all the leagues they haven’t won. How could God deliver such scorn to one poor family?”
At press time, Bertrand pleaded with his daughter to rename his one-year-old grandson Moussa in the hope he may break the family curse.
