Allan Saint‑Maximin Scores on Club América Debut as Profiles Spotlight His 145 IQ and Faith

Recent interviews portray a reflective winger who targets a future France call-up.

Overview

  • On August 24, the Frenchman came off the bench and scored in América’s 4-2 win over Atlas at Estadio Jalisco.
  • A day later he thanked Isaías Violante on Instagram for the assist, after logging a little over 30 minutes, and local reports say he could be considered to start against Pachuca.
  • He says a childhood intelligence test measured his IQ at 145, a result his mother cited in urging him to prioritize academics.
  • He describes his faith as central to his life, saying he prays daily and attends church once or twice each week.
  • He cites Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldinho and Thierry Henry as playing inspirations, studies the careers of Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, and believes he has the level to make France’s senior squad.
