Former coach of Paris Saint-Germain, today on the bench of Al-Duhail (Qatari D1), Christophe Galtier will remain the man who launched Warren Zaire-Emery in the Parisian club. Asked about the first call-up of the young 17-year-old midfielder with the Blues, the French technician was not surprised by this express rise. “It’s no surprise compared to the matches I see him do. When you start at 17 at PSG, it’s normal that the coach wants to see you. Age doesn’t matter. Even less so for a boy like Warren. He has incredible maturity. On what it should be in work, investment. He always has his eyes wide open to observe, his ears very clean to listen, his mouth tightly closed, because at his age we work. It jumps out at you. He has the codes”first greeted Galtier in an interview for The Team before explaining this trajectory “supersonic”…
“He’s not someone who talks a lot, but make no mistake, he’s not shy, not a follower. He has personality. We see it in training, and in matches he is impervious to pressure, he has this ability to stay focused on what he has to do. He knows his strengths, knows where he needs to develop. Everything flows on him. He’s not like the others. When we were preparing for the season, I had a list of young people that we had to see. Warren quickly joined the group and with the staff we said to ourselves: damn, but this kid is 16 years old and has the attitude of a player who has already had 200 or 250 matches!” The interested party will appreciate and is rewarded today…
