If he could add his name to the list of Blues selected to play the last two matches of 2023 with the France team, Didier Deschamps was without Warren Zaire-Emery during the last gathering. Some people didn’t understand why.
The last reunion of the French team is close, with regard to the year 2023. After a penultimate gathering last October, Didier Deschamps’ men will meet this time to play two qualifying matches at the Euro 2024, respectively against Gibraltar and Greece. A new kid could well appear, in the person of Warren Zaire-Emery. Brilliant since the start of the season, the PSG midfielder was not selected on October 5. The choice of the French coach was not understood by everyone.
In the wake of the match won Friday evening by Paris Saint-Germain against Montpellier (3-0, 11th day of Ligue 1), Warren Zaire-Emery’s new quality performance was commented on on the channel’s set The Team. Scorer against the Héraultais, the Parisian player once again impressed and his possible call-up to the France A team was mentioned. With first a return to Deschamps’ last list, and an admitted incomprehension on the part of Sébastien Tarrago. “ I didn’t really understand the arguments presented by Didier Deschamps last month for not selecting him.“
“You have to take it right away”
And the journalist continued: “ When we saw the list of midfielders in the France team, there was no match. He is two notches above (Youssouf Fofana and Boubacar Kamara). » As for explaining the non-selection of Zaire-Emery by the fact that the latter was captain of the Espoirs, Sébastien Tarrago judged that this was not valid. “ It does not exist. Hopes are Hopes. Didier Deschamps took Malo Gusto and I guarantee you that he is important for the Espoirs. And he took (Castello) Lukeba. So he doesn’t ask the question and he’s right.“
Continuing his speech, the observer returned to the Zaire-Emery case and Deschamps’ justification. “ The argument was to say, ‘yes, he won’t necessarily have playing time’. No, I think that, in the same way that (Eduardo) Camavinga came very young, you have to take him straight away because sometimes players have difficulty managing a first selection. So we have to do it as quickly as possible. He has the level. » Didier Deschamps will unveil his list on Thursday, November 9, at 2 p.m.
