She fell ! This Thursday, Didier Deschamps revealed the list of players selected to challenge Gibraltar and Greece during this November truce. The coach notably called Warren Zaire-Emery for the first time. This is actually the only new feature on this fairly classic list if we put aside the few physical glitches of players like Aurélien Tchouaméni. Obviously, the journalists present on site questioned the French coach at length about his plan for the Parisian titi.
“Because of what he has achieved with his club since the last meeting, he is here with us because he has all the qualities to be at the highest level. Even if there is competition for his position, what he is capable of achieving at his young age demonstrates enormous potential and a maturity already well established at just over 17 years old. It’s obviously an important step for him in his career, everything is going very quickly for him but he has the capacity to assume these responsibilities”he first said, justifying his selection.
A serious candidate for the Euro
But above all, he explained that there will be no particular plan to welcome the teenager. He will apply the same process as for other beginners. “It’s not a question of age, some players can be mature at 18, others at 30 will be less mature. There is no special treatment. Some may come late. We must make sure to put the new one in the best conditions, with tranquility and serenity. There is significant media attention but you have to know how to manage or digest what happens afterwards. I always allow for a lot of mitigating circumstances when it comes to first call-ups, first matches or a first tenure. For some it takes a little time to free themselves and feel confident, for others it happens naturally. When I call a player, I consider that he has what it takes to meet the requirements of the high level, but that requires confirmation. But we’ll know that later.”added the coach.
Finally, he confirmed that the Parisian is, logically, on his shelves for the Euro: “if he’s there, it’s because he has everything. If he does it at PSG and I believe he has the potential to do it at international level, he is a candidate for the next Euro. Without changing what he achieves. I’m not going to go into detail, he’s already a complete midfielder, at his young age, who does a lot of things very well. We must maintain and be able to express it with the Blues, even if there are other players like Camavinga. I have never chosen to put players on the field based on their date of birth. Whether he’s 17, 20 or 28 it doesn’t change anything. Warren, like all young people, was ready”. Like many football fans, Deschamps is seduced!
