Désiré Doué, almost landed by FC Bayern in summer, starts at PSG after start -up difficulties. His trainer draws an astronomical comparison.
Désiré Doué started casually, took a few small tips and then balanced the ball into the goal from eleven meters. His subsequent jubilation: ice cold like his penalty itself.
Doué had just scored the decisive goal in the penalty shootout against Liverpool FC and brought Paris Saint-Germain to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Désiré Doué plays the focus of the national team at PSG
The preliminary climax for the 19-year-old in the Paris jersey, who had caused a great sensation since his substitution through strong dribbling and degrees. Doué alone had had the decision on the foot several times in the extension, and the U17 European champion also delighted in the first leg.
Doué rewarded for strong form
His achievements carried fruit: On Thursday, the left wing was nominated for the French national team for the first time. “I convened him about everything he can contribute to good and very good,” said national coach Didier Deschampe L’Equipe.
“He has improved a lot in the past few weeks. He is a very young player and what he does is interesting for us, ”Deschamps explained his decision. With seven goals and eleven templates in 38 competitive games, the offensive player was recommended.
And that, although he still had start -up difficulties at the beginning of the season and was even referred to as a “Parisian patient”. It took it a few months to adapt to Luis Enrique’s game philosophy. He often switched between the bank and the starting eleven. “He has a very high level, he must have the right mentality to be successful and help the team,” said his coach in November.
He seems to have found the mentality, he helped his team to get a little closer to the big goal: the Champions League title. Since the start of President Nasser Al-Khelaifi in 2011, winning the Henkelpotts for PSG has top priority.
Bavaria voyed around Doué
In the national team he also meets Michael Olise. Together they won the silver medal at the Olympic Games in Paris last summer, Doué was involved in two goals in five games.
In the 3: 1 NV against Egypt in the semi-finals, a co-production of the two actors made the final. There could have been almost such moments at Bayern, who, as is well known, brought Olise from Crystal Palace to Säbener Strasse.
The German record champion was intensively on Doué, who was under contract with Stade Rennes last season. The Munich fought a hard duel with PSG. At that time, L’Equipe wrote about the race of the two European heavyweights: “PSG definitely wants to win the game against Bavaria.” They also did, FC Bayern went away empty -handed and Doué moved to Paris for up to 60 million euros.
PSG coach raves about “new comet”
This step was a great career jump for Doué. Corresponding expectations were also fueled in conjunction with the millions of transfer.
The youngster, who is under contract in Paris by 2029, now seems to finally do justice to this. The moment for the “new comet”, as L’Equipe recently called him, has come.
