PSG: Luis Enrique makes a bold decision on Mbaye! | OneFootball

Ibrahim Mbaye (17 years old), a forward for Paris Saint-Germain, will play this weekend with the U19 team against Le Havre, according to Le Parisien. The club denies any sanction. Luis Enrique wants to give the young Parisian the chance to regain momentum in his age category, after a few turbulent weeks of learning with the professional group.

At PSG, the management of young players follows a precise logic: apply pressure without hindering progress. By calling up Ibrahim Mbaye (17 years old) with the U19 team, Luis Enrique (55 years old) applies his preferred method: responsibility. Far from being a punishment, this return to the lower level is akin to a sidestep, a way to regain confidence, rhythm, and efficiency.

The Spanish coach wants everyone to justify their place with the pros, regardless of name or promise. Mbaye, announced as one of the great talents from the academy, now has the opportunity to prove he can meet this requirement. A philosophy already visible in the management of Zaïre-Emery (19 years old) or Mayulu (19 years old), where meritocracy prevails over status.
