My Take
Désiré Doué is the kind of young footballer who makes me reckless with predictions. What strikes me is not the pace or the dribbling, which French academies produce by the dozen, but the calm in his final decision, the half-second of patience that separates good attackers from great ones. Moving from Rennes to Paris Saint-Germain could have swallowed a teenager; instead he grew into the stage. Receiving a knighthood of the National Order of Merit before turning twenty tells you how quickly France has embraced him. If his body holds and his head stays level, I genuinely believe we are watching the early chapters of a Ballon d'Or contender.
