Duai, who joined Rennes' youth training camp at the age of six, grew up with his brother Gra and has now become a rising star in football. After joining Paris Saint-Germain last summer, the young player, who is about to celebrate his 20th birthday on Tuesday, has impressed fans with outstanding performance in the Champions League final against Inter Milan.

Duer's coach at Rennes on Monday night, William Stanger, said he had always been confident in Douer's skills and physical fitness: "I was surprised that he was just 20 years old and was able to make his mark so quickly. Douer has an innate talent, and he also put in a lot of effort to hone his skills during his youth training. He has a special love for ball control and has become a big deal of nostalgia. Very skilled. "

" Now, Douai has shown extraordinary talent. He can be at ease whether it is dribbling, passing or shooting. He is diligent and studious, has a lofty goal, and has an excellent support team around him. Therefore, I believe he will continue to achieve great achievements and keep it for a long time."

Even if he has transferred to Paris Saint-Germain, Douai and his teammate Ottoman Dembele have not forgotten his youth training club. "The day before the French Cup final, when we took the young players to get on the field, Paris just finished their training. Dembele and Douai came to our locker room to communicate with the kids. You can feel that they were grateful for the place where they were growing up," Stange recalled. "I think they were both very relaxed and calm. From the body language, they seemed confident."
