Saint-Brieuc-PSG (0-7): Triple scorer, Gonçalo Ramos has been full of confidence

“Amen! After saying all the good he thought of Gonçalo Ramos on Tuesday noon at a press conference, Luis Enrique did not try to add this Wednesday evening, in the wake of the qualification obtained against Saint-Brieuc, in the quarter-finals of the French Cup. Asked about the performance of his Portuguese striker (23 years old), author of a hat -trick, the first of his career with PSG, the Spanish technician simply dropped this formula consisting in expressing an assent and his membership.

The Parisian coach had seen right the day before the meeting when he said that the former Benfica player was important during every minute disputed. Rather used to taking advantage of the crumbs offered to him at the end of the bench, the “Super Sub” Gonçalo Ramos demonstrated that he was also able to express his qualities when he is led to start a match as a holder, which had not happened to him since February 4 in Le Mans.

“Today, I made my match”

If the identity of the opponent, a National 2 club, invites not to fall into “the fiery” or to make the number 9 the new strong man of the Parisian attack, the Portuguese has at least had the merit of honoring the new hand stretched by Luis Enrique by being of formidable efficiency. Author of two remarkable entries against Brest (a goal, a decisive pass) and Lyon, each time with class gestures to the key, Ramos continued on his momentum and confirmed his good pass.

“The key was to be attentive and then wait for the opening of the spaces. We did this in very beautiful ways, the triple scorer was satisfied after the meeting. It is very important to score a lot of goals because it gives us a lot of confidence. Today I have scored goals and I made assists. I made my match. »»

Third top Parisian scorer

Once is not customary, the former Benfica player managed to blend perfectly into this Parisian collective forced and quickly enhanced. While the PSG staff have often noticed his ability to be more comfortable on the end of matches and found his difficulties in highlighting himself in the face of united blocks when he starts the meetings, “the pistolero” has this time found the right carburetor.

Like at the 2022 World Cup

In the space of 22 minutes, the number 9 came to plant a hat -trick that snaps and recalls a not so distant performance made with its selection during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Ramos had already split a hat-trick made in just 40 minutes, in an 8th final won against Switzerland (6-1).

His evening performance testifies in any case his sense of goal and a certain address. With 12 goals scored in 23 disputed games including 9 as a holder, Ramos consolidates his place as the third best Parisian trigger. Above all, it displays an exceptional ratio of 1.2 purposes scored every 90 minutes, doing even better than Ooumane Dembélé (1.07). At this rate, it is difficult not to imagine him to beat his record for the previous season and thus do better than his 14 achievements registered during his first exercise in the capital … Enough to give reason to Luis Enrique and his theory of the four players to more than twelve goals.
