146 ASPETAR MAGAZINE FLASHBACK Here, the staff know their job very well and take care of us. Scan the QR code to watch Ousmane Dembélé's full interview and testimonial from his first Aspetar visit! Flashback: The First Visit as an FC Barcelona Star (January 2020) His choice of Aspetar was simple: a glowing endorsement from a trusted source. "I have heard very good feedback," Dembélé recalled, "because Samuel Umtiti came here before, and he advised me to visit Aspetar to treat my injury and get prepared for the rest of the championship." The visit, which spanned two intensive two-week periods, focused on rigorous physical preparation to get him back in shape for the season's demanding schedule. The experience left a lasting impression. He was full of praise for the staff's dedication and expertise: On a sunny winter day in Doha in January 2020, Aspetar welcomed the French World Champion, then a forward for FC Barcelona. Dembélé was not in Qatar to play; he was on a mission to recover from a hamstring injury that had sidelined him since November 2019. His positive recovery experience solidified his faith in the centre, leading him to recommend it without hesitation: " In case of injury, I recommend any athlete to come here."
