Luis Enrique expressed his appreciation for young French winger Désiré Doué, but also highlighted the difficulty of managing the pressure surrounding the player. The PSG coach said that despite Doué's outstanding performances in the latest Champions League matches against Manchester City and Barcelona, managing the noise around him remains the biggest challenge for a player of his age and technical level.
The 21-year-old showed a formidable contribution in the Champions League qualifying phase, with four goals and four assists in twelve matches, and also scored his first Ligue 1 goal against Strasbourg. With injuries to Ousmane Dembélé and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Doué has the opportunity to increase his playing time and consolidate his role within the Parisian squad.
Luis Enrique praised Doué's dedication, calling him a player with extraordinary work capacity and a strong will to help the team. He also highlighted that, even when on the bench, the youngster remains positive and ready to contribute. The coach then invited Doué to maintain humility and ambition, continuing to work with the same commitment he has shown so far.
PSG, with Doué establishing himself as one of the club's most interesting promises, is preparing for the next phase of the Champions League and the Ligue 1 season. Doué's future looks promising, but the coach has asked the youngster not to lower his guard and to continue to show his talent and professionalism.
