This is called ramp -up. Landed this summer with the status of great hope of French football, Désiré Doué had experienced complicated beginnings with PSG. Replacing, he had never managed to seize his luck when Luis Enrique was betting on him. Enough to fuel criticism and debates around a player bought for more than 50 million in Rennes. So the Spanish coach had decided to launch a little warning to his player at a press conference. “For some players, there are more facilities, for others less. A French player may have more facilities to adapt, but each case is different. There is no rule. Some adapt quickly, others more slowly. Goutout is a high -level player for the future. He needs the right mentality to help the team ”he had explained.
Since then, we can say that the 19 -year -old winger has adopted the adequate mentality. On a cloud since the beginning of 2025, Désiré Doué has been chaining the very good performances. His entry against Liverpool, who made a lot of talk across the Channel, illustrated his form of the moment. Already the author of 7 goals and 11 assists this season, his performances and his impressive versatility ended up convincing Didier Deschamps. The coach of the Blues announced this Thursday the list for the League of Nations matches against Croatia and Désiré Doué therefore experienced his very first invitation. A deserved reward according to Luis Enrique. The Spanish coach discussed the case of his player at a press conference this Saturday. And he had strong words.
The success of a project
“I remember that you had criticized it. Today they are praise but one day criticism will come back, because the high level implies that you accept that when you are less well. Goutout needed adaptation months. The difficulty of succeeding in PSG, when you are French is more difficult. In Rennes, we saw his physical technical level and in terms of personality. Today, he collects the fruits of his work, he remains a lot to do, he is in the place and the club that he needed to grow and play high level matches. The Champions League level, as I say to the players, is like selection. You play with and against the best players, the best coaches ”he launched. Above all, Luis Enrique estimated that this selection with the Blues was a strong message sent to future PSG players. Because it illustrates the game project sold to Parisian recruits.
“For Goué, I am especially happy for a player who had several options this summer and who thought it was better to go to Paris. Then, with his performances at PSG, he goes to the French team, I like it a lot. This is important for future players to say that at PSG, the way of working allows you to be more powerful, to pass a stage. I am delighted that he is going with the Blues. (…) It is also an argument for management when we talk to the players, if you come to PSG and accept this challenge, you progress, because we see capacities in you to go to the highest level. ” This Sunday against OM, Désiré Doué risks starting as a holder and could still show all his qualities. Enough to close in the best of the ways a week already marking on the personal level.
