Author of an exceptional season with Paris Saint-Germain, both collectively and individual, Achraf Hakimi has been in a new dimension for several months.
The Moroccan side of PSG undoubtedly stands out as the best in his post this season. Red and blue number 2 is an essential element of Luis Enrique's workforce. The 26 -year -old continues to impress on all levels what is in attack, in defense but also on the physical level.
His level of play appeals to the football planet. During an interview with the newspaper The Parisianhis former coach in Borussia Dortmund Lucien Favre did not fail to evoke his qualities.
“Hakimi was already very offensive when he played under my orders in Dortmund. But, there, what he does in Paris is magnificent. It brings the excess, it is from time to time inside, from time to time between the two. It is difficult to stop it and I see, too, that it has become a real cloakroom leader. Now he will always be cataloged like an attack player. When he has to get into the field, he is no longer surprised behind his back, he does everything much better than before. He knows how to be in the 16 m by occupying the right area.
he launched.
Serious pretender to the Ballon d'Or?
What if Achraf Hakimi was crowned Ballon d'Or France Football on September 22 in Paris? For several days, the Moroccan coast has continued to climb thanks to its great performances. Some observers believe that he deserves to glean the prestigious reward in front of his partner Ousmane Dembélé and the player of FC Barcelona Lamine Yamal.
“Ousmane Dembélé has of course scored a lot of goals, he is a Frenchman and that he is a golden ball, that suits me. He has hatched since the start of the season, we saw a new Ousmane Dembélé. Lamine Yamal, the same. Intrinely, he is the best player in the world, the one who makes the most shiver, he even won the Euro last summer at 17, it is monstrous. But if I had to vote for the number 1 and choose a Parisian, in terms of the regularity of the career and what he does with his selection, I would vote for Achraf Hakimi, “ launched consultant Kevin Diaz on RMC.
Before continuing: “He's an extraordinary guy, he has a center-forward stats in some championships. It's just exceptional. In addition, he is a guy you want to love, who always has a smile and seems very respectful, he gives everything on the field, he is revolutionizing the post. We had Joao Cancelo with Guardiola who sometimes played number 10 and all over the field. But there, Hakimi really plays n ° 9, he will press up up there. His position has evolved enormously over the past 10-15 years but he and Nuno Mendes are bringing him to an exceptional level, thanks to Luis Enrique. »»
