It’s not easy to be a young prospect and land at Paris Saint-Germain. Despite the example of Hugo Ekitiké just before him, Désiré Doué chose to try the adventure this summer. Arriving from Stade Rennais for fifty million euros, the nineteen-year-old winger hoped to prove himself in the competitive system put in place by Luis Enrique. For the moment, he can’t do well and that frustrates him.
According to an indiscretion of The Teamthe native of Angers is champing at the bit and is not having the start to the season that he was hoping for. Only three starts in twelve matches played with Paris, that’s much less than he expected. If he knew the places would be worth a lot of money, he perhaps didn’t think the fight to get one would be so complicated. Among the reasons cited by the media, Luis Enrique’s choice to play Doué in positions that are not really his, he who expresses himself best on the left side of the attack.
Désiré Doué is disappointed
Four months after his arrival in Paris, Désiré Doué was
“disappointed and frustrated”. While Luis Enrique still seems to believe in himself and his development, the player is annoyed at not having more of an opportunity to express himself with the ball, and moreover in the best possible conditions. Despite everything selected with the Espoirs tricolores, the former Rennes player is patient. But for how much longer?
Will his story end like that of Hugo Ekitiké who didn’t last long at PSG and left last winter for Eintracht Frankfurt? Will he choose instead to continue to believe in it, to work in silence and finally seize his chance when Luis Enrique gives him a new one?
