At a press conference before hosting Gibraltar in Nice this Saturday evening (8:45 p.m.), the coach of the France team returned to the dream week of French neo-international Warren Zaire-Emery (17 years old) and seems impressed by his serenity. “It’s been a very busy week for Warren, especially outside! Warren is Warren, with his tranquility. We talk a lot about him, that was already the case with his club, it takes on a little more importance with the selection. He remains focused on the field. It’s natural. If he doesn’t start tomorrow, he will be international anyway.”
The French technician continued in front of journalists, in particular on the exposure that the Parisian has experienced since his call-up to the A selection. “When you become international, it’s a step. There are tomorrows. The requirements are higher. Warren, for example, has very significant media exposure. It requires confirmation anyway. If I call him, it’s not for fashion. When I call someone, it’s because I’m convinced that they have the potential to stay with us. Sometimes it takes a little longer.”
