Désiré Doué, the 20-year-old midfielder/forward for Paris Saint-Germain, spoke to Ligue1+ after the 3-0 victory against Metz this Saturday at the Parc des Princes, in the 23rd round of the 2025-2026 Ligue 1 season. He notably discussed his substitution at halftime, which appeared to be a groin strain.
Doué: “We did a great job as a team.”
A great opportunity to seize tonight, and you did it in style?
Yes, definitely. It’s important to win tonight. We watched the match just before, we saw they lost. We’ve taken back first place, and now we have to keep it.
You opened the scoring, you’re the center of attention. Is it important to respond?
Yes, not necessarily respond, but just to play well and help the team. Tonight, we did a great job as a team. Even though we would have liked, and could have, scored more goals tonight. We’re bringing home the 3 points, and that’s the most important thing.
Doué: “It’s preventative.”
We saw you holding onto things as you left the pitch. What was that for? Was it a precaution?
Yes, absolutely, it’s preventative. Everything’s fine.
