Praised at Paris Saint-Germain since his debut with the pro group, Warren Zaire-Emery is going through a slightly more complicated period. At the microphone of RMC SportJérôme Rothen (46 years old) did not hesitate to point the finger at the French international (8 matches played, all as a starter, 1 goal this season). “On the other hand, we also have the right to judge players who are not good. Who are not good like Fabian Ruiz. He had a fantastic Euro but it’s been three years since matches like Sunday’s… I’m mainly talking about the midfield and I think the midfield is essential for any team. And if PSG wants to compete with the best European teams, the midfield needs to be much stronger than it shows. And I have big doubts about Fabian Ruiz because it’s been three years and, after a while, we have the right to say that they were wrong or that this is not the profile suited to Paris Saint -Germain. And about Warren Zaire-Emery, I’m starting to have serious doubts. Because I was placed as an international player, he was upgraded…”
Regarding the 18-year-old, he added: “with him, the problem was that everyone went a little faster than the music. And Didier Deschamps first. Give him the status of an international player… Give him a (consequential) salary, and the leaders of PSG I also blame them on this, give him a salary which places him among the best salaries in the squad. Today, he doesn’t deserve it for what he shows us. He was excellent at the start of last year. Excuse me, but it’s been almost a year where he’s been disappointing. So for me, you can have some doubts about the fact that this player, in six months when we will have to try to compete with the best European teams if PSG is still qualified, excuse me but with this midfielder composed of Fabian Ruiz, Joao Neves and Warren Zaire-Emery, well we’re not going to go very far.” WZE must quickly recover according to the former PSG.
