Recruited from Sporting Lisbon for €60 million this summer, Manuel Ugarte immediately established himself as an indispensable element in the PSG midfield, as evidenced by his new quality performance Tuesday evening against Dortmund in the Champions League. Analysis.
He was one of the great unknowns of the market summer at PSGespecially since Luis Campos had not hesitated to pay the tidy sum of €60M (the amount of his release clause) to dislodge him from Sporting Lisbon. But it is clear that Manuel Ugarte is already essential in its new colors. The 22-year-old Uruguayan midfielder has had a string of XXL performances since the start of the season with the PSGand his absence for more than an hour was widely felt last Friday during the defeat againstOGC Nice (2-3).
Enrique ignites for Ugarte
And while Manuel Ugarte once again produced a very good performance Tuesday evening in the Champions League against Borussia Dortmund (2-0), Luis Enrique declared his love for him in a post-match press conference: “He is a tough and strong player, who helps us a lot in playing. He played a very complete match. Manu brings us the energy, the ability to press high and jump the lines, to be hard on the man. He is a very complete player technically and with a good reading of the offensive game. With Warren and Vitinha, they give a lot of balance to the team,” confides the coach of PSG.
“It’s getting better and better”
And for his part, Manuel Ugarte also spoke in the mixed zone on his successful integration into PSG, as well as that of the other reinforcements in the transfer window: “Throughout the matches, the players build relationships on and off the pitch and this is visible on the pitch. It is very important to know how we understand each other and that it gets better and better as we meet. I think I can describe it in one word: unity. Playing as a team makes us stronger,” says the Uruguayan international, who is already a crack player for PSG.
