Éric Dina Ebimbe, who came through the ranks at Paris Saint-Germain, has shared his memories of his time at the club, notably the influence of Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Kylian Mbappé on his development. In an interview with Foot Mercato, the Cameroonian midfielder emphasized the intensity and high standards of training within the Parisian club.
Ebimbe was particularly struck by the speed of execution and game reading of the three attacking stars. According to him, the training sessions were an exceptional challenge for the young players in the group. "Who was the most impressive in training? They all were, but what struck me was in the rondos. It felt like they had one and a half seconds ahead of you, everything is done twice as fast as you, they see things faster, they shoot faster, they run faster," he said.
The Cameroonian midfielder believes he progressed more in this competitive environment than in other club experiences. He even compared his experience at PSG to his time at Le Havre, stating that he had evolved much more in training with PSG.
"There is nothing better for a young player to develop. I think you evolve more in training there than playing at some clubs. For example, I spent a season at Le Havre, and I improved much more in training at PSG, honestly," he added. This daily immersion alongside world-class players allowed him to raise his level of play and better understand the demands of the highest level.
Dina Ebimbe, now 25 years old, played for PSG before joining Eintracht Frankfurt and then Brest. He has also expressed his pride in representing Cameroon on the international stage.
Trained at Paris Saint-Germain, Eric-Junior Dina-Ebimbe had not managed to break through among the stars during the 2021-2022 season. The midfielder, on loan from Frankfurt to Brest, would have liked to have been part of the current generation, under the orders of Luis Enrique.
Ultimately, Éric Dina Ebimbe's experience at PSG testifies to the significant impact that world-class players can have on the development of young talents.
