PSG – Stéphan reveals Doué’s huge advantage in big matches | OneFootball

Julien Stéphan, currently the coach of Queens Park Rangers (English Championship) who knew Désiré Doué at Rennes, commented to L’Equipe on his great resistance to pressure in “big matches.” He explains that the 20-year-old midfielder/forward for Paris Saint-Germain and the French national team has an approach that makes all the difference.

Stéphan: “Désiré has great self-confidence, coupled with positive excitement”

Doué has confidence in himself, which is an essential point to perform at the highest level. There is also a certain calmness in the face of difficulty, which is quite impressive at his age. One element highlighted by Stéphan really seems to make the difference: the “positive” approach to big moments.

There is always pressure, but making it a burden is out of the question. The young PSG talent above all sees the opportunity to fully enjoy a high-level football match and help his team win it. It’s a great mentality to keep, despite the logical obstacles in a career. Especially since Doué is likely to be increasingly in demand, given how impressive his rise has been and, clearly, how far it is from being over.
