Seize every opportunity. Gonçalo Ramos understood that it was the best thing to do to give himself a chance of having more. Injured for many weeks after the first day of Ligue 1, the 23-year-old Portuguese striker champed at the bit before making his return to competition in November. Not in the best phase then experienced by PSG who had suffered a defeat against Bayern Munich in the Champions League then two disappointing draws against Nantes and Auxerre in Ligue 1.
For these two matches, Ramos was started by his coach Luis Enrique, champion of the false number 9, much less a fan of the classic scorer. Forced to win in Salzburg, the Spanish coach had trusted him, a rare thing. And if it was laborious, Ramos returned this confidence by scoring the first liberating goal. Enough to definitively open the doors to a golden future for him at PSG?
Still not indisputable in the eyes of Luis Enrique
Not necessarily, since Ramos immediately tested the sidelines against Lyon then Monaco. By scoring each time during the ten minutes offered by his coach, he could hope to start in the Coupe de France against RC Lens. Nay! Back on the bench to let Dembélé and Kang In Lee play the false 9s, this time he played the saviors by equalizing 4 minutes after coming on, taking advantage of an error from Kevin Danso.
Above all, he showed everything he could bring to a locked match, with his ability to resist in duels in particular. Very useful, he also transformed his shot on goal without blinking. In short, a successful entry in every way, but which will not guarantee him any privileges for future meetings. If for some coaches, scoring goals regularly generates maximum playing time, this is not the case with Luis Enrique.
