Place in the big leagues. Born in Colombes, in Hauts-de-Seine, David Boly, integrated into the training of the professional group for two weeks, learned some happy news this Saturday, November 8. “He will be in the group that we are going to call up for Lyon but we have to be careful with young players. “He’s been training well over the last two weeks, and it’s time to start giving them some playing time… without rushing.”assured Luis Enrique at a press conference before the clash between OL and PSG on Sunday evening at Groupama Stadium. A very nice reward for the young Parisian Titi, trained at the club and considered the great promise at the right-back position.

Central defender during his first year at PSG, the right-hander who played for FC Asnières and the Racing Club de France finally gradually moved towards the right wing where he distinguished himself by his speed, his technical quality and a rare maturity for his age. A regular starter with the French U17 team and a key player in the Parisian U19s – he is already playing his second season in the Youth League with PSG and is coming off a solid match against Bayern Munich – Boly has even seen his progress rewarded with an honorary title of Golden Kid U19. Enough to definitely convince Luis Enrique.

“David is a player we want to get to know better. He has potential and a very interesting state of mind.confided the former Barça coach about his protégé. However, the trajectory of the young Parisian has not been easy in recent weeks. Having remained on the sidelines for several months after a shoulder injury contracted during a rally with the Blues last May, David Boly will finally take advantage of a particular context – Achraf Hakimi, indisputable holder at the right-back position, will miss several weeks of competition – to take an important step in his young career.

“He is a hardworking, humble and focused boy. He doesn’t skip steps”assured, moreover, a member of the staff of the Parisian training center. “It’s a dream for him, but also a responsibility. At that age, every minute counts.”confided, for his part, a close friend of the player. Although he is not expected to start on Sunday evening at Groupama Stadium, this call-up nevertheless marks a major step in his progress. By integrating Boly into the professional group, Luis Enrique confirms his desire to trust young people, provided they show rigor and talent.
