21 years and 251 days of average age. For the trip of Paris Saint-Germain, this Saturday, on the side of Montpellier, Luis Enrique had indeed decided to leave eight frames at rest (Donnarumma, Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Nuno Mendes, Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz and Dembélé). A turnover explained in particular by the crazy end of the season which awaits the red and blue with the final of the French Cup (May 24 against Reims) and especially that of the Champions League (31 against Inter). As a result, PSG aligned, against the Héraultais, the youngest eleven starting in its history. An XXL reshuffle which did not prevent the Parisian training from confirming its supremacy nationwide.
Dispute insurance, an exceptional goal
MHSC's fall (4-1), Paris was able to rely on an express hatch of Gonçalo Ramos. But that's not all. Author of the opening of the score, Senny Mayulu also took the opportunity to shine. Found behind by Ibrahim Mbaye, the native of Blanc-Mesnil was based in the surface on Warren Zaïre-Emery before unchecking a perfect strike in the left skylight of a Benjamin Lecomte helpless (44th). Lancer of the golden generation of Ile -de -France – six players from the training center even finished the meeting (Tape, Kamara, Zague, Mayulu, Zaïre -Emery, Mbaye) – Mayulu confirmed the extent of its potential.
Beginning in a role of right side before being placed in the midfield, the 18 -year -old kid, now linked to PSG until June 2027, has never seemed impressed by this promotion granted. Just technically, rigorous defensively and inspired in the transmission, the Parisian titi finally ended this meeting with 92% of successful passes, 6 duels won, 2 recovered balloons and above all a little gem (its 4th goal of the season in the jersey of the Champions of France). Appeared 26 times during this financial year 2024-2025, the one who could take advantage of the reception of Auxerre on the last day to show himself again made the confidence granted by his coach.
A more important role next season?
“It is a match that is mainly used to demonstrate that every minute with the PSG jersey is important, especially for young players. There were very good examples this (Saturday) evening ”also confided Luis Enrique after the new victory of his family against Montpellier before praising the number 24 Ile -de -France. “I love her very much. I was delighted that he remains. It is difficult to hold PSG, especially in this PSG. It is important for the future of the club, for its technical, physical qualities, for its versatility. We tested him as a side tonight and he can also play this position. He has a very strong character, he is always ready. He plays less than he would like, of course, but he has a very strong character ”.
Appreciated internally, rented by his trainer and stunning in tranquility despite his young age, the principal concerned did not hide his satisfaction after yet another successful performance. “At first it was a bit hard to create opportunities. I am happy with my goal, he made it possible to lead 1-0. I am very happy to have helped the team. We thank the coach, he makes us play (young people). We try to give him his confidence on the ground ”. You will understand, if some titis have shown, in Montpellier, that they had a future in this new formula, Senny Mayulu (4 goals and 2 assists in 26 matches in all competitions) is certainly part of it.
