Di Maria’s Prediction: Kays Ruiz’s Struggle to Shine at PSG and Beyond
Paris, September 2023 – Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is renowned for its exceptional football academy, producing numerous talented players who go on to excel in Europe. However, not every promising star reaches their potential, as evidenced by the story of Kays Ruiz, once a highly-rated midfielder at PSG.
A tale of untapped potential
During his time at PSG, Spanish midfielder Ander Herrera played alongside several gifted individuals, including the French midfielder Kays Ruiz. Despite being one of the most promising talents, the 23-year-old has not managed to secure a place in PSG’s first team or at any major European club.
Di Maria’s prediction
According to Herrera, Angel Di Maria had predicted Ruiz’s struggle. Reflecting on those times, Herrera shared, “Watching him play was a delight; his talent was undeniable. However, Di Maria often pointed out Ruiz’s lifestyle choices, saying, ‘Forget it, look at his car, his clothes. Trust me, you’ll see what I mean.’“
Herrera emphasized the importance of mentality over raw talent, noting that even the greats like Leo Messi worked tirelessly, maintained a strict diet, and kept their physique in peak condition.
The current journey of Kays Ruiz
Once hailed as a future star at PSG’s academy, Kays Ruiz has yet to live up to expectations. Although given a chance by then-coach Thomas Tuchel during the 2020-21 season, Ruiz failed to establish himself at the club.
Presently, Ruiz is playing in the Belgian second division with Francs Borains. His contract with the club runs until June 2026. Ruiz is reportedly aiming for a move to the Jupiter Pro League or considering extending his stay with Francs Borains. The football world watches closely to see how his career unfolds.
