Arriving at Paris Saint-Germain, thinking of being Gianluigi Donnarumma’s understudy, Arnau Tenas was starting to get impatient on the Paris sidelines. But as they often say, one person’s misfortune makes another person’s happiness. And on Sunday afternoon, Donnarumma’s murderous outing on Josué Casimir did the Spaniard’s business.
Author of a very notable first in the red and blue jersey against Le Havre (2-0), Tenas knows that he will have the opportunity to play a few matches with Paris. Donnarumma is expected to be suspended for several matches, while Keylor Navas is injured in the back. Announced as leaving during the next winter transfer window, the former resident of FC Barcelona will perhaps change his mind.
A complete goalkeeper
In any case, even if we should not get carried away around Tenas after a single match, the performance of PSG number 80 did not surprise the man who trained Tenas from 12 to 19 years old, Aureli Altimira . Asked by RMC Sport, the former physical trainer of Pep Guardiola’s Barça was not stingy in terms of praise. Better, he believes that Tenas has the shoulders to hold the position of starting goalkeeper at PSG.
“Arnau has everything going for him. (…) He knows how to play with his feet, he is powerful in the air, he has a contagious personality for his teammates… He has always been very popular in the locker rooms he has been in. (…) I am convinced that if he plays, (…) the costume will not be too big for him. (…) PSG lovers don’t worry, Arnau will face this challenge without any difficulty. (…) And believe me, goalkeepers who know how to play perfectly with the right foot, the left foot… pfff… They can be counted on the fingers of one hand and believe me, Arnau is one of them. » To confirm.
