Friday evening, at the Parc des Princes and for the return of Ligue 1, Warren Zaire-Emery had a message to convey. Rightly discussed for several months, the Parisian Titi has apparently taken advantage of the international break to regain his health. Back in the French junior team, two years after his last selection with the Bleuets, the native of Montreuil continued his momentum during the reception of Strasbourg at the opening of the 8th day of Ligue 1.
Aligned in a sentry role alongside Kang-In Lee and Désiré Doué, the 1m78 right-hander reminded all his detractors that he remained one of the most promising talents of his generation. Once again designated captain by Luis Enrique – in the absence of Marquinhos, Hakimi and Vitinha – the number 33 of the Rouge et Bleu continued to harass his direct opponent in a match of an intensity rarely observed in Ligue 1. Solid in the duel, imperial on the man, WZE above all regained its percussion.
A captain found
Mobile, carried forward and available for his partners, the French international with 7 selections, in fact, distinguished himself by numerous sharp ball lifts, destabilizing the Alsatian block and allowing his team to be dangerous on Mike Penders' goal. Credited with a 7.5 by the FM editorial team, the darling of the Parc des Princes finally delivered a solid performance: 99% of successful passes, 99 balls touched, 8 balls recovered, 4 duels won.
“I feel good. I went with the Espoirs to regain this confidence. Touch a lot of balls, play forward. Today wasn't a bad match on my part. I feel good, I hope it continues like this”logically enjoyed the person concerned in the mixed zone. “I feel better and better, I regain this confidence and I enjoy myself again. This captain's armband is always a source of pride. I will be able to represent the team”had, moreover, indicated WZE at the microphone of Ligue 1+.
For his part, Luis Enrique, present at the press conference, praised the very good match of his midfielder. “We have a lot of confidence in him. We know his abilities, and we are happy to see him evolve at this level”. Still deprived of many executives four days before its trip to Leverkusen in the Champions League, PSG, still provisionally leader, can therefore welcome the return to the highest level of its crack after several complicated months.
