A few months ago, Warren Zaïre-Emery was seen as the present and the future of Paris Saint-Germain in the midfield. But, as the season advanced, the young French player was downgraded in the hierarchy of Luis Enrique. He thus played 19 minutes at the cumulative on the last four meetings of Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, namely the double confrontations of and a half quarter of the Champions League against Aston Villa and Arsenal. For Luis Enrique, there is no doubt: the holder of PSG is made up of Neves, Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz.

A disappearance that logically questioned its place for this gathering of the Blues. However, Didier Deschamps still chose to select him for this semi-final of the League of Nations against Spain and this possible final in the event of success against Roja. At a press conference, he was questioned about it and wanted to explain his choice.

His lack of playing time is not a problem

“He is not in his happiest period which is also linked to his injury at the wrong time, and there is competition at PSG with very good players in the middle. It was also used in a side position. He is a very young player, a career is never without a difficult period, he has not lost his qualities, he can less express them by playing time but he is a player on whom I count, who did things with us, even if he did not have a lot of playing time … Yes there is strong competition in the middle, I could have quoted Khephren (Thuram), Bouba (Kamara) … Happy and then continue its evolution. It is not because it is harder in club that he should no longer come here ”replied the national coach.

Little used in front of Croatia during the quarters – not going into play at the outward journey, 9 minutes on return – Wze therefore remains in the plans of a Didier Deschamps who does not intend to abandon one of his soldiers. French international on 7 times (1 goal), Wze therefore receives a nice Boost of trust before this Champions League final with Paris Saint-Germain, while waiting to know if he will be on the ground to face the Pedri band and his teammate Fabian Ruiz…
