In the Coupe de France, PSG continues its journey. This Saturday, the capital club was opposed to a modest team from Orléans who, by playing with their weapons, held off the Parisians who were easy winners (1-4). Carried by a great Kylian Mbappé, author of a double and two assists, Luis Enrique’s flock qualified for the round of 16 of the competition. During this great victory, another player stood out alongside the Bondynois: Senny Mayulu.
For his second match this season in Parisian colors, the 17-year-old attacking midfielder had an unforgettable moment by scoring his team’s fourth and final goal with a nice dive. At the end of the meeting, the native of Blanc-Mesnil was inevitably euphoric after scoring for the first time with his training club: “I’m very happy to have entered this match. I am very happy and very proud. The year is off to a pretty good start. I hope it continues like this and I will do everything to work and continue to make some entries like this.» Hungry for minutes, the international of the French U18 team (5 caps) also sent a message on the pitch through nine minutes of play which did not go unnoticed by his teammates and Parisian supporters .
Luis Enrique and Danilo Pereira are already under the spell
Not hesitating to give a chance to several young people from the training center, Luis Enrique stands out from the majority of his former predecessors who hardly launched anyone from the youth teams into the deep end. In this sense, the former Barça coach expressed his pride in seeing his young shoots like Mayulu perfectly return this confidence to him on the field: “I think he is a very young player, with a lot of qualities, who can play with both feet and is intelligent. He can play on the side or more inside. He scored a very nice goal on a nice pass from Kylian. He finished the action well as he usually does in training. This is good news for the team. We want to be able to both sign big players, but also use central players, whether Warren, Ethan, Mayulu, Zague or others.»
Hailed by the press and by his coach, the performance of the player of the 2006 generation of Warren Zaire-Emery was also praised by some of his teammates. Asked about the potential of his young teammate, Danilo Pereira also confessed that he saw things big for the latter if he continued to work well: “he’s a young man who works well, who has talent, that’s why we were all for him. He is very talented and I think with work he can go far.» Big winner of this unforgettable evening for him, the Parisian supporters have undoubtedly not finished hearing about Senny Mayulu. Dubbed by everyone at PSG, the 17-year-old attacking midfielder can clearly aspire to a lasting place in the Ile-de-France group if he continues to perform like this.
