Luis Enrique spoke of a possible change of position for one of the players on his squad.
Arrived at Paris Saint-Germain last summer for the tidy sum of 50 million euros, Désiré Doué is still in an acclimatization phase. The French international Espoir has had some flashes in the Parisian jersey, but he still has room for improvement in many respects.
Often used in the line of 3 attackers, sometimes on the left, but also on the right or even in a false number 9 role, the former Rennais could be moved further down in the weeks to come. This is what Luis Enrique explained at a press conference this Thursday.
Désiré Doué moved back in the middle?
« Désiré Doué, you only have to think about one thing: he is 19 years old, said the Spaniard. He has already played in Rennes for a year in spectacular fashion. And with us, he has been helping from the start in several positions. It is possible that his ideal position is not as an attacking player, but in midfield.”
« However, I try to awaken in him the desire to understand how to play in several positions in order to take advantage of his versatility. Because in Rennes, I saw him play in 6, as a winger and even as a full-back in the Olympic team. I believe it is very positive for a young player to have physical and technical abilities, but also to have tactical knowledge in several positions. It’s a very interesting investment for him. It is true that we would like things to happen more quickly so that he can establish himself as a very important player, but it is a process, a path. I repeat, he is 19 years old and is at PSG, he plays a lot of minutes and it is obvious that he would like to play more, but he is a very interesting player, for the present and the future“, concluded the PSG coach, optimistic for the future.
