This is undoubtedly the only small black point of a historic evening. On Saturday, the French team had fun from Gibraltar (14-0) to Nice, at the end of a fantastically efficient meeting. The Blues rolled out, and this for the first selection of Warren Zaire-Emery. Starting in the middle, the Parisian only plays a quarter of an hour on the pitch. Enough to score his very first goal, but he was injured in the same action. The ultimate emotional elevator. If the only 17-year-old player will not have had the opportunity to participate in the party anymore, Didier Deschamps wanted to reassure his nugget after the match.
“He took exams. His ankle swelled enormously. Examinations ruled out a fracture but the injury is significant. Looking back at the image, it’s an injury, but it could have been more serious. We’ll have to see slowly but it’s reassuring.”, comments the Blues coach. He pursues : “I can’t judge him on fifteen minutes but he was as usual. It has tranquility and serenity, like in a club. I hope he can recover quickly. We will have the opportunity to see him again, not in Greece, but during the next matches in March. Words that will surely please WZE, who had a strange evening for his debut with the France team.
