PSG-Troyes: who is Younes Idder, the titi called by Luis Enrique against Troyes?

After the trip to Villarreal (0-6) on Tuesday, in the Champions League, PSG hosts Troyes, this Saturday (9:05 p.m.), during the 10th day of Ligue 1. A match for which Luis Enrique must cope without Marquinhos, Nuno Mendes, Ousmane Dembélé, “Kvara”, Maghnes Akliouche, injured, while Hakimi is left to rest. The opportunity to see several titis make their appearance in the group, including that of Younes Idder.

At just 18 years old, the attacking midfielder received his first call-up in official competition with the A team.

Arriving at PSG at the age of 12, this native of the capital patiently climbed the ranks. After a remarkable season in U17, he took part in the French Championship-Gambardella Cup U19 double, notably scoring a goal in the final against Montpellier (3-2).

This season, the left-hander has taken on another dimension. With a goal and three assists in four Youth League matches, he is gradually establishing himself as one of the offensive engines of his generation. Luis Enrique already knows him. In August, he gave him half an hour during a friendly match against Mallorca. But this time, the stakes are completely different.

A left paw and some nerve

Relayer, back-up leader, right winger or even attacker, the young Parisian has a versatility particularly appreciated by Luis Enrique. Comfortable with the ball, capable of resisting pressure and breaking lines, he likes to provoke and project himself towards goal. In a PSG where the dreams of young people are taking shape more and more, will Younes Idder in turn have the nerve to make Parisian supporters dream?

Moroccan U18 international and cousin of Aymen Assab, who left for Monaco this summer, Idder has not yet signed his first professional contract. But after the promising debut of David Boly, why wouldn't he be the next? In a perfectly oiled PSG, where rotations never seem to disrupt the collective mechanics, even the youngest can hope to find their place.
