19-year-old winger Désiré Doué, who played a superb match in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Aston Villa, spoke to TNT about his role model, former Paris Saint-Germain player Neymar Jr. He points out that the former Parisian is his role model and wants to follow in his footsteps.
Désiré Doué:
“My role model is Neymar. I think everyone knows that now, even him!
He has achieved so much in the world of soccer, and he still inspires me.
I hope to follow in his footsteps in my career. I’ve already spoken to him and I’m very happy about that.” (TNT).
He says it, repeats it to anyone who will listen: his idol is Neymar. There’s no denying the similarities in the two men’s body language. Above all, at 19, Doué is following in the footsteps of his illustrious predecessors.
Speed, dribbling, confidence and dazzling progress are all qualities found in Neymar in his early days. Doué also seems more “professional”. Let’s hope Doué can go one step further. For the time being, he is one of the best options offensively.
