A few months ago, Jeremy Doku made the switch from Anderlecht to Stade Rennes for no less than 26 million euros and so expectations for the 18-year-old flank attacker were high.
In recent months, however, he has had a hard time making up for it, but in recent weeks the Red Devil seems to be finally coming loose. In his last two games he has been good providing an assist.
And those good performances are good news for Doku, because in recent weeks he has gradually come under fire in France. The criticism of the youngster grew, although they had little understanding for it in Rennes. For example, technical director of Rennes Florian Maurice once again takes on the defense of Doku.
"That boy was born in 2002 and arrived here on October 5. Two days later he was already playing with players whose first names he didn't even know! Today he is gradually starting to integrate", Maurice says at Ouest-France. "He moved into his apartment last week. People are always very rushed with new players, but I know some need three, four, five, six months. And I have the example of Rai at PSG or Juninho at Lyon. , where it even took them a year to start performing. "
