Halfway through, it is already time for the first assessments in Ligue 1. And, the right back of Paris Saint-Germain, Achraf Hakimi, has been praised on an individual level.
With 2 goals and 5 assists in 14 league matches, as well as a very high volume of play and races, the international Moroccan never ceases to show itself to its advantage. An observation shared by Parisian and Atlas Lions supporters, but also by the big rival, Marseille Olympic !
Also very prominent this season, Marseille goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli has in fact estimated that the unhappy finalist of the last African Ballon d’Or is the best player in Ligue 1 over the first part of the season.
“For me, the player who stands out is in Paris and his name is Achraf Hakimi. He is a fundamental player for them, a player who brings both defense and attack“, underlined the Argentinian this Sunday at the microphone of Téléfootbefore still teasing the Parisian: “Well, I hope he misses his next matches…“
“Hakimi flies through the championship“, pour Ludovic Giuly
Consultant for the Sunday show, international French Ludovic Giuly validated the Marseillais’ observation, insisting on Hakimi’s headliner role for PSG and more generally Ligue 1.
“Hakimi is flying over the championship a bit. At the start of the season and what he produces in relation to the game and the races, it’s intense and it’s strong. On what he has been doing since the start and last year, he is the key player for PSG and our Ligue 1“, estimated the ex-Monegasque.
Yes, yes PSG can be worried about the situation of its left side, Nuno Mendes, possible departure in the coming months in the absence of an extension, on the other hand the capital club can sleep soundly for its right counterpart and frame, Hakimi, in the process of being extended by three years, until June 2029.
