Paris Saint-Germain travelled to face AS Saint-Étienne on Saturday as part of Ligue 1 Matchday 27 (1-6). Speaking to PSG TV, 17-year-old Parisian striker Ibrahim Mbaye reflected on his side’s success.
Mbaye “It’s a reward for all the hard work I’ve put in up to now”.
“It was complicated at the start, but we managed to relax. I’m very happy to have scored that first goal, and I hope it’ll last a long time and that I’ll score more.
It’s a reward for all the hard work I’ve put in so far, and I’m going to keep on working. Bradley gave me the pass and all I had to do was push it home. He let me score my first goal, which shows great cohesion between the players.”
What a magical moment for a 17-year-old player to take part in such a match and score. Of course, it rewards years of hard work in the best possible way. This achievement will undoubtedly motivate young Mbaye even more to work hard and give 100% of himself in order to earn more and more space in the squad.
For his part, Luis Enrique continues to give these young players game time, which is logically the best possible strategy for keeping them involved and proving to them that all doors are open. With the succession of matches, the young Titi players will have plenty of playing time, so it’s up to them to make the most of it.
