Omnipresent since the start of the season, Manuel Ugarte is not the only option in his position for Luis Enrique.
He quickly established himself as the darling of the Parc des Princes: generous, hyperactive, combative and relevant in his use of the ball, Manuel Ugarte is undoubtedly one of Paris Saint-Germain’s most successful summer recruits. So much so that the Uruguayan international is now considered an essential player in the squad of the capital club. Luis Enrique, however, has a real alternative to his position.
A player broke the screen in this role during this international break, and like Ugarte, this midfielder enjoys a good popularity rating among supporters. This is Danilo Pereira. This week, the Lustinian press did not skimp on the praise for the Portuguese international, used in a sentry role in front of the defense with his selection.
Danilo has had playing time at center back this season. In addition to the young Warren Zaire-Emery, Luis Enrique relied on Fabian Ruiz in his midfield rotation. But the possibility of seeing the Spanish technician rely on Danilo in the coming weeks cannot be ruled out. Author of an excellent performance against Bosnia Herzegovina, the former FC Porto player confirmed, if necessary, that his preferred position was indeed in midfield.
