PSG’s Hakimi Shines in 4-0 Win, Earns High Praise from Pochettino

On Saturday, the Parc des Princes was the scene of an extraordinary match for PSG, showing their intentions to secure a prime spot in the Ligue 1 standings. Starter for this match against Clermont, Achraf Hakimi caused a sensation, earning praise from Mauricio Pochettino. The coach hailed the professionalism of the Atlas Lion who arrived this summer and is already establishing himself as an indispensable player for the Parisian club.

For the Argentine coach, as a right-back, Achraf Hakimi is one of the best in the world in his position, even though he expects more effort from him. He believes the player has even more to offer. "I am very happy with Achraf. He is one of the best in the world. He has huge potential, but he also has quite a few points to improve. We will work on him to express all his enormous abilities," he said in the post-match press conference.

He adds that Hakimi is a player he was closely following when he was still at Tottenham. "We were about to bring him to Spurs, but he then went to play for Dortmund. He is very enduring, his physical potential is huge."
