Failing to have been able to attract Zinedine Zidane when he was looking for a coach, PSG has in its ranks a player that its trainers do not hesitate to compare to Zizou.
At only 17, Warren Zaire-Emery never ceases to impress. Luis Enrique, landed this summer at PSG, has already fallen under the spell of his midfielder, who has become an indisputable holder in the midfield alongside Manuel Ugarte and Vitinha. ” Clearly, I love it. He is an incredible player despite being only 17 years old. He really has everything to become one of the most important players in the squad. He is very technical and very hardworking, thus recently confided the Spanish technician about him. It’s a chance for a coach like me to arrive at a club and come across such a rough diamond available. It is now up to us to accompany him on his way so that he stays very long in the PSG. »
The Parisian midfielder also caught the eye of Thierry Henry, the new coach of the France Espoirs team. For his first list, the former Gunner did not fail to retain him, confident about him: “I have been for a while. He impresses me, in terms of physical impact. The way he can recover the balls in the feet… it’s just exceptional. Some players try to take the ball from him, but they are the ones who fall. »
And Didier Deschamps seems on the same line as his former teammate in the France team. ” At the start of the season, with strong competition, the playing time he had was important, and his influence too. He has the potential to be at the highest level, and he proves it. So he is at the level and to arrive in the French team, it will most likely be the case. “, he confided about him at the microphone of Téléfoot.
All these technicians are not the first to be amazed by the Parisian prodigy. Evidenced by the anecdote delivered by Zahir Rahli, one of his first coaches in Aubervilliers, when he was still only 6 years old. ” There was one of my players looking at me, saying “coach, you changed us all except Warren”. I saw he was right and I asked him if he knew Zidane, he said yes. “Zidane, are you going to take him out? he said no. “Well, Warren, it’s like Zidane “, he thus told.
