David Boly, a 17-year-old right-back for Paris Saint-Germain, spoke to PSG TV following PSG’s 1–1 draw against Manchester United in a friendly match this Saturday at the Ullevi Stadium in Gothenburg.
Boly: “It’s incredible that he trusts me for a match like this.”
“It’s a pure joy to play in a match like this. It’s great for improvement. We keep working to reach the highest level. We are making progress physically, technically, and tactically. We’re starting to step up and see that we are a real team.
That’s all that matters. Playing this match? Honestly, it’s incredible. I want to thank coach Luis Enrique; it’s amazing that he trusts me for a game like this and that I’m starting to experience the professional level. That’s how I’m going to improve.”
For David Boly, these matches represent far more than just a reward. They allow him to face the demands of the elite level while gradually earning Luis Enrique’s trust. The Spanish manager does not hesitate to field his young players in challenging environments—a valuable opportunity to accelerate their development. Boly’s words also reflect the enthusiasm of a young Parisian who fully appreciates the opportunity he has been given and intends to use it to reach the next level.
