Didier Deschamps, coach of the French National Team, was invited to a press conference to discuss the very rapid adaptation of Désiré Doué, a 20-year-old midfielder/forward from Paris Saint-Germain, with the Bleus.
"It's not related to age. I wouldn't speak of uniqueness, no. He has his qualities, his mind is ready for the very high level. Everything started very quickly. He had to meet very high demands very early on."
Of course, talent is an indispensable asset to succeed at the highest level, whether in a club or in the national team. However, one should not forget the importance of the mind. Game intelligence, seriousness, the ability to question oneself, to endure difficult moments, to manage successes. There are many elements, and remarkable careers do not happen by chance.
For now, Doué seems well on his way to achieving a remarkable career. Notably, because he knows how to listen and fight against adversity. Like all players, he experiences more challenging moments. But we have seen him bounce back. He will need to continue on this path, always avoiding overconfidence. Regardless of technical skills, everyone must work, analyze their flaws at times. Let's hope Doué never forgets this.
