Zaire-Emery praised by Deschamps
Asked about this, the Blues coach did not close the door to the 17-year-old player, far from it, for future gatherings. “Warren, what he has achieved since the start of the season could have been surprising at first, but I talk with Titi about what he was able to do with the Espoirs. This is potentially very interesting. Today, he is potentially able to be on this list. Between a very important role at PSG and with the Espoirs and a somewhat secondary role with us, I leave priority to Titi and the Espoirs. But if he continues like this, obviously he is a serious candidate to have a role in midfield. Because of what he achieves, and with incredible maturity”he explained during his press conference.
“It’s absurd”

Logically selected by Thierry Henry with the Espoirs, of which he was captain during the last gathering. The Bleuets coach was also very complimentary towards the PSG player. “I’ll start with his match (against Newcastle). Surprised and not surprised. It’s truly astonishing what he can do at the moment. We can talk about his strength, his physique, but his vision, understanding the game, how he positions himself, the desire… Unfortunately, his team collapsed yesterday, but not him, at his age. (…) I wanted to know what he had in his stomach and he showed me over two matches that he is still an exceptional player. His maturity, what he manages to do, to understand, at his age, it’s just not normal”said the former Arsenal player.
