Injured in an ankle during the Blues’ victory against Gibraltar (14-0) on Friday evening, Warren Zaire-Emery received a nice message of support from Thierry Henry.
Called up for the very first time in the France A team during this gathering in November, Warren Zaire-Emery honored his first selection against Gibraltar (14-0 victory for France), Saturday evening in Nice. And the 17-year-old midfielder only needed 16 minutes to score his first goal in the blue jersey. But unfortunately for him, during the action of his goal, he was the victim of a violent tackle on his right ankle, forcing him to give up his place prematurely.
During a press conference, Thierry Henry, who had made Zaire-Emery his captain for the Espoirs, returned to the premiere of his former protégé. “It’s hard, we all watched the match to see Warren. No disrespect to anyone, we just wanted to see Warren get on the field and score. The emotion was a little weird because you jump for joy at his goal and… he stays on the ground. If you know Warren at all, he tells the doctor he’s okay but he’s not. Everyone was a little sad. This is what he gives off every time. Everyone is happy when they are happy and everyone is sad when they are sad,” declared Titi.
“We have a really very special player”
“I personally thought he was going to score because he can project himself forward quickly, as you could see,” he added. It’s a bit like the goals he’s scoring at PSG at the moment where he manages to get into the box. It ends well. We have a really very special player”underlined the coach of the France Espoirs team.
Thierry Henry then wished a good recovery to the PSG nugget, who is not expected to play again this year. “He will always remember this evening, despite the injury, assured the Espoirs coach. It’s his debut in A. It’s not easy to score in your first match, he managed to do it. I don’t know what he can’t do actually. May he recover well, hoping to see him again as soon as possible. »
