He is one of the big winners of this first gathering of the Zinedine Zidane era. Author of high-quality performances during the four Nations League matches contested by the Blues, Désiré Doué notably made an impression against Belgium, Monday evening at the Stade de France. Coming into play at the end of the second period, the young Parisian equalized before delivering two assists for Michael Olise.
Convinced by the performances of the former Rennais, Walid Acherchour estimated that “Today he is a player who will be very hard to put on the bench. » Problem, he is the first victim of the tactical change made by Zinedine Zidane, who decided to reposition Kylian Mbappé on the left side of the attack and Ousmane Dembélé in the axis.
“If he is not the starter, it is because there is status management with Ousmane Dembélé, because Mbappé must play on the left. He is the big unfair loser of the redistribution of cards with Mbappé who must play on the left, and Dembélé number 9. If Mbappé remained at number 9, Désiré Doué plays every day on the left. He puts a dance and a speed on Bradley Barcola in the French team, I have that feeling. He is asserting himself”noted the consultant on the airwaves of RMC.
“He must become Top 5 in the world”
“He is a player who has a global palette, who has personality, he continued. Désiré Doué, if he should not make the pass to Mbappé, he does not do it. He does not have this respect for the statutes. If he is better placed, if he has to make a difference, he does it. He is not inhibited by the status of others. As much as he can be exasperating at times, he likes the light, the spotlights. And that, for me, makes Désiré Doué one of the big winners of this gathering, after Michael Olise. »
And Walid Acherchour concludes: “This must be his year.” He must become Top 5 in the world. He must be an important player for PSG and the French team. It must be the advent of Désiré Doué. The player he should be, he must become. »
