From being booed to counterattack! The team newspaper praised Fabian: a low-key and elegant midfielder, winning recognition with his performance

On May 28, French media "Team" published an article talking about how Spanish international Fabian Ruiz went from being booed to winning the recognition of Paris fans.

Once upon a time, Fabian was almost regarded as a burden, a player who was often booed by home fans when his name sounded in Princes Park. Then with a series of shining performances this season, Fabian completed a brilliant "counterattack" and he is now almost one of the symbols of Paris' success this season.

The elegant midfielder still gives a strange feeling, the 29-year-old low-key Andalusian has always been a secondary character, standing behind Dembele, Barcola, Marquinios or Kvaratshelia. Behind his ideal son-in-law-like face and shy smile, it is difficult to accurately perceive and measure the role he played on this epic season in Paris.

In fact, Fabian quickly gained recognition from the team when he joined Paris in 2022. Unlike Vitina, who was once criticized by veterans in the team, Fabian is regarded by his teammates as one of the best players in his skills. A person close to the coaching staff revealed: "He is a very skilled player and one of the most talented players in the team. The players don't understand why he didn't get more opportunities to play, especially in the midfield, where he can bring more vertical breakthroughs."

Fabian is an introvert who is very cautious when facing unfamiliar things. He doesn't talk much, and isn't the type of person who likes to post long tweets in the court or in the locker room. However, he was able to play a key role in tactical adjustment and became Enrique's capable player.

Fabian's former Naples teammate Baccayoko said: "Fabian is a simple person, who is relatively low-key, not at all ostentatious in the team, and is very friendly. He tends to communicate directly, and he will chat with you specifically to discuss a detail or other in the game. I also noticed that he often hides his emotions in his heart." Off the court, Fabian prefers to stay at home, be with his family, or take a walk on the streets of Paris. In the locker room, except for being close to Spanish players, most of the rest time is not very obvious. Despite his improved status this season, Fabian still maintains his true nature. He once said in an interview after the game: "I am not a leader, all I want to do is show my best self."

Fabian is the kind of player Enrique likes: professional, strict, and dedicated. He has won many honors and is the object of looking up to young players. Unlike Ashraf, who has sought to take on more responsibilities recently, Fabian does not pursue leadership, and he hopes to set an example through his performance. When a young player needs guidance, he can also give the right guidance in his fluent French.
