The coach of the France team, Didier Deschamps, could be tempted to summon a young 17-year-old midfielder.
It’s almost time for the start of the school year for the French team! Thursday, at 2 p.m., Didier Deschamps will reveal his list for the first two matches of the Blues this season: against Ireland on September 7 at the Parc des Princes, as part of the Euro 2024 qualifiers, and against Germany five days later at Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund, in a friendly.
Will the tricolor coach reserve any surprises? Even if it’s not really his style, one candidate seems to stand out. According to The Parisian, Warren Zaire-Emery has the profile to join the group of world vice-champions. So the daily believes that the young PSG midfielder is already “at the gates of the French team”.
Started by Luis Enrique during the first three days of Ligue 1, the 17-year-old quickly established himself as an important part of the Red and Blue midfield, alongside an equally convincing Manuel Ugarte. Enough to join Clairefontaine from the next international break? Maybe, but probably not in the A.
Zaire-Emery, a place to take in the middle?
His fine performance against Lens (3-1) on Saturday evening did not escape the new Espoirs coach, Thierry Henry, present in the stands. If the place of “WZE” is probably more with the Blueberries at the moment, given his experience, The Parisian nevertheless invites Didier Deschamps to “Also keep an eye on him”, ten months before the European Championship.
In this sector of play, the chairs are expensive in selection, even more since Antoine Griezmann has gone down a notch. With him, Aurélien Tchouaméni and Adrien Rabiot, “DD” has found his trio in the middle, and Eduardo Camavinga is also applying for the eleven. For the Parisian nugget, finding a place therefore seems complicated in the short term. In the future, however…
