Dro Fernandez made his premiere yesterday at the Parc des Princes. Of course, he was not on the pitch with his new teammates during the draw against Newcastle (1-1) in the Champions League, but in the stands. The former Barcelona player was not qualified for this meeting, however, we should be able to see him at least on a match sheet during the play-offs. Before that, the new Parisian recruit of this winter transfer window could well experience his first call-up this weekend against the trip to Strasbourg.
He should quickly get playing time. This is what he came to seek by signing with the European champion for €8.2 million, where Hansi Flick only trusted him 5 times during this first half of the season. Luis Enrique promised him very rapid use in his squad rotation. According to information from Mundo Deportivothis was one of the arguments that hit the mark with the 18-year-old, allowing him to get ahead of the competition embodied by Chelsea, Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund.
Luis Enrique plans to quickly use Dro Fernandez
The Asturian sees him as a great talent, still to be polished of course, but already endowed with qualities allowing PSG to raise their current sluggish level of play. He intends to use his versatility, which will allow him to smooth out the strong competition a little. Capable of playing in the midfield trio, Dro Fernandez still faces Vitinha, João Neves, Fabian Ruiz (currently slightly injured), Zaire-Emery and Senny Mayulu. His first training sessions will set the tone for his use in this second part of the season.
He will also be able to slip among the offensive players, especially if Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is injured for several weeks after his major sprain last night. The exams taken in recent hours will reveal more about his unavailability. For his only start of the season (in the Champions League), Fernandez started as a left winger. Luis Enrique will in any case not be afraid to launch it, as he has been able to do in recent months with Ibrahim Mbaye, Quentin Ndjantou, and to a lesser degree David Boly, Noham Kamara and Mathis Jangeal.
