D.C. United’s recent signing, Boris Enow Takang, made a great impact in his debut for the club, despite being sent off early in the second half. Three weeks after joining from his Netanya in the Israeli top-flight, the Cameroonian defensive midfielder showcased his talents in a 4-3 loss against Fc Dallas in the MLS.
Although his debut was marred by a red card due to two yellow infractions, head coach Troy Lesesne expressed his satisfaction with Boris’s performance.”I think it’s a good debut for him outside of the obvious,” Lesesne remarked. “We would have loved to have him on for the full match, but he showed what he is capable of during his time on the field.”Despite his early exit, Boris played a crucial role in the build-up to D.C. United’s second goal. Breaking through the opposing defense with a well-timed, inter-positional pass, the Cameroon international initiated the move that led to the assist.
This shows his vision and precision in the midfield. His dynamic play and strong presence gave United control for much of the first half.Lesesne was quick to highlight these qualities, noting, “He is a very, very dynamic player. I thought he started the game well.” While the game ultimately ended in disappointment for D.C. United, Boris’s performance was a bright spot.
His ability to dictate play and contribute to key moments of the game will no doubt be critical to the club moving forward.Reflecting on the red card incident, the United coach offered a nuanced perspective. “The first yellow card that he received—I think that one is questionable. The second one is not,” the coach admitted. “Outside of that circumstance, I was happy with Boris”. The coach’s remarks show that the former fc Porto man can be an important player for D.C United.Due to his impressive performance pundits believe that he is the next big thing on the international stage for Cameroon.
