Ruud Gullit Backs PSG’s Desire Doue to Rival Yamal for Future Ballon d’Or
Former AC Milan and Chelsea icon Ruud Gullit has tipped PSG’s rising star Desire Doue as a future Ballon d’Or contender, putting him in the same conversation as Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal.
In a chat with NEKO Deportes, the Dutch legend said Doue has what it takes to rival Yamal for football’s top individual honor in the years ahead. Gullit’s comments come after watching both youngsters make major impacts for their clubs this season.
Despite PSG losing Kylian Mbappe last summer, Doue has stepped up impressively, helping the team retain their Ligue 1 crown. The 19-year-old has racked up 13 goals and 12 assists in 47 appearances so far, becoming a key figure in the French side’s attack.
With PSG already holding a slim lead over Arsenal after a 1-0 win in the Champions League semi-final first leg, another strong performance from Doue could raise his profile even higher—especially if they go on to lift the trophy.
Asked who besides Yamal could dominate the Ballon d’Or race over the next decade, Gullit replied, “That’s a tough one… but I really like Doue. He’s young, talented—it could be him.”
Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi speaks on the Netherlands’ elimination from the World Cup.
The coach explained why the team was eliminated. “Morocco has gained everybody’s respect now,” Ouahbi said, adding: “It’s not because of what we’ve said. We’ve now shown it.
“We completely dominated a Netherlands team. We had 70% possession, more shots and more expected goals. We controlled the match. We wanted to stay calm, play our game and believe that if it went to penalties, we had an exceptional goalkeeper. We didn’t turn the match into a chaotic battle. We controlled it.”
Nigerian footballer and former captain William Troost-Ekong revealed the standout player for him in the South African team during this World Cup.
He shared that Mbekezile Mbokazi really stood out in the World Cup match against Canada.
Despite their loss, he praised the team’s performance. “It speaks volumes that Mbokazi [Mbekezile] was the best player on the South African team. I believe Okon also had considerable possession of the ball.”
Poland footballer Robert Lewandowski’s new club has officially been revealed.
It can be noted that the player was involved in the ongoing summer transfer window, with negotiations taking place over his future.
The footballer will be joining Chicago Fire. It can be recalled that he visited the club two weeks ago, and the move has now been confirmed. The information was shared by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
