Ibrahim Mbaye left PSG this summer after participating in his first World Cup with Senegal. He wanted to get more playing time, which Luis Enrique could not promise him, even though he still played 31 matches in all competitions last season (1,242 minutes) for 3 goals and 2 assists, rare playing time for a player of only 18 years old. The winger ended up leaving for Aston Villa for around €55 million. In an interview probably given before his transfer, on the channel Sheikh Footstylethe Senegalese international says he has sometimes put bad pressure on himself.
“ At PSG, things didn’t necessarily go the way I wanted. I put a certain pressure on myself that I shouldn’t have. I saw the great players, the Ballon d’Or, DĂ©sirĂ© (DouĂ©), Bradley (Barcola), Gonçalo (Ramos)… and I said to myself: “I have to do better than them.” But it’s not a pressure you should have. You just have to play your game. The more you practice and play with them, the more you learn because they are great players who have more experience », he reveals during this interview. It’s up to him to put this experience to good use in his new adventure in England.
