In trouble with Paris Saint-Germain at the start of the season, Warren Zaire-Emery (19 years old) returned to the France Espoirs team box to regain the confidence and level of play which allowed him to be called up by Didier Deschamps for the first time in November 2023, when the midfielder was still only 17 years old. Present in front of the media before the match against Azerbaijan, the French coach praised the attitude of the young Parisian, whom he called again during this gathering.
“It did him good (to return with the Espoirs), he found pleasure again. It doesn’t have to be a punishment. He moved on to PSG, which allows him to be with us again. It doesn’t work every time, you need the player’s total support. He wanted it”he declared. While the Blues validated their qualification for the 2026 World Cup thanks to a victory against Ukraine (4-0), Warren Zaire-Emery could have more playing time this Sunday.
