While Warren Zaire-Emery should start this Saturday during France-Gibraltar, Rolland Courbis and Lionel Charbonnier approve of this choice by Didier Deschamps.
It’s the big day for Warren Zaire-Emery. While the Blues are deprived of Aurélien Tchouaméni and Eduardo Camavinga, the young Paris Saint-Germain midfielder should make his debut for the French team this Saturday against Gibraltar, in the Euro 2024 qualifiers. He should even start , and it’s the right time, according to Rolland Courbis. “He’s an exceptional boy, you have to tiptoe there. But by having him play 60 minutes against Gibraltar, we will have prepared him for the month of June”explains the RMC consultant, with reference to Euro 2024.
“He will learn”
Lionel Charbonnier is of the same opinion. “The players are ready earlier, in the physical impact it is there. You don’t take any risks in starting him against Gibraltar, he has no pressure, he will learn. He will be supervised by Rabiot and Griezmann. For me, it’s the right time. He’s good, he’s in good shape. He will learn to wear the French team jersey. And afterwards, if he is still in good shape, he will go to the Euro. But whatever happens, he will have had a terrible experience.”confided the 1998 world champion Friday evening in the After.
There is, however, a small risk, that of going too quickly with the PSG prodigy. “Let’s not pull too hard”thus advocates Courbis, while Charbonnier also recommends a certain measure. “It is not too early to start him at 17, but it would surely be too early to make him a starter, a manager at 17 who plays every match. But playing him tomorrow (Saturday), no problem. »
