Luis Enrique, coach of Paris Saint-Germain, once again praised Uruguayan midfielder Manuel Ugarte in the press conference prior to the start of the UEFA Champions League.
In the dialogue with the media, the Spanish Technical Director referred to the importance that the former Fénix, Famalicao and Sporting Lisbon midfielder has gained in the French team, which will face Borussia Dortmund at Parc des Princes on Tuesday.
"Manuel Ugarte has been a revelation for a large number of fans, but he was already playing very well at Sporting Lisbon. He has been a great signing. Luis Campos, our Sporting Director, did a great job. He is a young player who has strength, character, helps the team and brings balance", he stated.
The 22-year-old player recently joined PSG, where only five games were enough for him to earn the coach's, his teammates' and the PSG fans' consideration thanks to his outstanding performances.
His impact has been so great that the team's coach has only taken him off the field to preserve him physically. He played 90 minutes in the first three Ligue 1 games, played 75 minutes in the last match before traveling to Uruguay to play the World Cup qualifiers, and just a few hours after returning, he played another 25 minutes in the match against Nice last weekend.
