Winner of Strasbourg this Saturday, at the end of a spectacular match (4-2), Paris Saint-Germain had the luxury of rotating its squad. A lesser evil three days before an important Champions League match against PSV Eindhoven.

Among the players who scored points was the young Senny Mayulu. Launched into the deep end of professional football last season, this great hope of the club continues to progress. At the age of 18, the midfielder scored a superb goal with a dry strike to open the scoring.

PSG is banking on its titis

Luis Enrique obviously had a smile when commenting on the excellent performance of his young protégé. The PSG coach distributed the compliments, while dropping important information. Mayulu had exit doors.

“He was incredible and could have scored 3 goals. Last year he had the possibility of leaving, but I spoke to him and he stayed here. Because I told him that I liked the way he plays. He decided to stay. He has a lot of potential, quality and personality,” explained Luis Enrique on DAZN.

This strong choice by management tends to confirm, if necessary, that Paris Saint-Germain is banking on its young people with high potential. The club took a 180-degree turn a year and a half ago, and the academy has become a central point in Parisian strategy. It remains to be seen whether Senny Mayulu has the potential to follow in the footsteps of Warren Zaire-Emery.
