Hungry for sport, he grew up to the sound of Formula 1 engines and the exploits of Ronaldinho. Today, with a Master's degree in sports journalism, he no longer misses an F1 Grand Prix or a PSG match, his two passions and specialties.
Not very active during the previous summer transfer window, PSG had only recruited four players including Désiré Doué, who arrived from Stade Rennais for €50M, bonus included. However, the international Espoirs had a discreet start with PSG where Luis Enrique used him sparingly. But the Spanish coach promises big things for the future with Désiré Doué.
During the previous summer transfer window, the PSG continued its project by recruiting three very promising outfield players to prepare for the future. But while João Neves et Willian Pacho did not waste time integrating into Paris, Désiré Doué has more trouble. Recruited for €50M from Stade Rennaisthe international Espoirs plays little and above all, he is used in different positions. But Luis Enrique promises that it is recruitment based on the future.
-Luis Enrique steps up to the plate for Doué
« How old is Désiré Doué? Do you know that? 19 years old, yes. He is a high quality player, whom we have recruited for the future, but also for the present. He participated in almost all the matches, but there is a time of adaptation. He is a player that I like, who can play on one side as well as inside the game, with personality, good dribbling quality and physically strong. But that doesn't mean he can start at PSG. I hope that will be the case », Promises the Spanish coach at a press conference, before continuing.
“He is a player in whom we have great confidence”
« My obsession, with my team, is to always create competition so that no player relaxes. I don't want relaxed, quiet players. I like the intensity in training and in matches. With the intensity and this quality, it always works. It's a mathematical formula. But I have to create this competition. In the case of Doué, I am not at all worried. I like what I see, but I want more. He has to adapt, he still lacks something to adapt. When will it adapt 100%? Nobody knows. But I repeat, he is a player in whom we have great confidence », added Luis Enrique.
