His first words were eagerly awaited. Dro Fernandez, the 18-year-old nugget stolen from Barça by Paris Saint-Germain, gave a presentation interview to his new club, made public this Tuesday morning. Landing in the capital crowned with the status of great hope of La Masia, the very famous training center of the Catalan club, the Spanish attacking midfielder is sure to have made the right decision.
“I think there is no better place to grow, because the project that there is with the young people here is incredible,” launched the new number 27 of PSG. “I am very happy, very enthusiastic. This is a very proud moment for me and my family. I can’t wait to get started! »
Convinced by the presence of Luis Enrique at the head of the Parisian project – “that’s why I’m here”, the man with five matches with the Barça first team intends to “continue to grow as a player”.
“Just football, huh? »
If some Barcelona followers consider him the worthy successor to Andrés Iniesta, Dro Fernandez sees himself as “a creative player who likes to dribble, make the right decisions and put on a show”. “I am a quiet man, who comes from a small village, who likes to be with his people. I obviously love enjoying my family and being with them. I am calm, peaceful. I also like to be alone, and with people I love, but I am a calm man. »
If he should initially join the rotation, PSG’s winter reinforcement is eagerly awaited by Luis Enrique, who did not fail to tease him at the time of his signing. “Sign here: 50 goals and 50 assists!”, joked the Spanish technician in a video published by the club on social networks.
“I am very happy that you are joining us,” President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi added by telephone. “Now you have to work, train, concentrate on football. Just football, huh? “, he said to his new player.
Not qualified for the regular phase of the Champions League, Dro Fernandez will not be available against Newcastle this Wednesday at the Parc des Princes. His big debut could take place in Strasbourg on Sunday February 1st.
