While the quarter-final of the Champions League against FC Barcelona this Wednesday is already on everyone’s minds, Paris Saint-Germain has allowed itself to play in Ligue 1 this Saturday. For the Clermont reception, Luis Enrique made numerous changes, taking advantage of this match to give his managers a break and offer a start to his replacements.
At the forefront of which are three young people recently integrated into the group and expected to grow in the club: Senny Mayulu, Yoram Zague and Arnau Tenas. Presentation.
Senny Mayulu, Zaire-Emery’s companion
A creative midfielder, Mayulu, also 17, is experiencing his first start in the first team, after having had the right to part of a match in Ligue 1 against Montpellier, mid-March, and in the Coupe de France. From the same generation as Ethan Mbappé, with whom he often shared his room, and Warren Zaire-Emery, the titi cut his teeth at PSG, where he was always outclassed.
Capable of shooting with both feet, praised by his trainers for his technique, he has long been inspired by his big brother Fally, current center forward for Rapid Vienne. So his aspiring contract ends on June 30, a good performance against Clermont could help advance negotiations regarding his first professional contract.
Yoram Zague, great premiere
Installed as a full-back, Zague, only 17 years old, saw his very first minutes with the first team this Saturday, whose training he had joined at the start of the year. The titi had previously signed a professional contract last summer with his favorite club, which he had joined at the age of 13 in pre-training. Capable of playing any position within the right lane, the former striker should also be able to offer offensive solutions against Clermont, even if he was exceptionally aligned on the left.
Arnau Tenas, third blade
After three starts in a row in December, Tenas will finally find playing time. Usually third in the hierarchy of goalkeepers, the 22-year-old Spaniard is taking advantage of the injury to Keylor Navas and the rest of Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Son and grandson of a goalkeeper, the Catalan was trained at FC Barcelona, where he has long been one of the great hopes, as a charismatic captain of the reserve. Frustrated at not getting his chance in the first team, he chose to try his luck in Paris this season. In his first matches at PSG, he was able to demonstrate the quality of his kicking game, specific to the products of La Masia.
