Ismaël Doukuré: “Une Famille” and the Importance of Work at the Racing Club de France

After the draw (0-0) against Monaco, Ismaël Doukuré, defender of the Racing Club de France, shared his impressions and stressed the importance of the collective within the team. Placed in number 6 in front of the central hinge, the player evoked the strong emotional bond that unites the players in the locker room.

Doukuré, one of Liam Rosenior’s favorite versatile elements, has been repositioned several times in the middle of the field, like last night in Monaco. “We make a lot of videos in the week to get automation,” he explained to DAZN’s microphone. “For example, knowing who compensates when the middle goes in the lateral position.”

The defender, trained in Lille, also praised the quality of the opponent. “AS Monaco is a great team,” he acknowledged. “We analyzed the game well, we did what we could, but physically it was complicated for us.”

But beyond tactical analysis, Doukuré highlighted the human aspect of the group. “The collective serves us, it is a pleasure to work with these players and arrive every morning at training. We don’t consider ourselves friends, but brothers. We’re a real family, we all suffer together, we give each other up, we don’t want to let go of the boyfriend who makes a mistake or who’s a little less good.” The player thus illustrated the spirit of solidarity that prevails within the team, a crucial element for collective success.
