During a daily interview The Team, Christophe Galtier, who played on the Parisian bench last season, returned to Warren Zaire-Emery’s first call-up with the Blues. The new technician from Al-Duhail (Qatari D1) also took the opportunity to reveal an anecdote on how the Parisian locker room had accepted the young prodigy from the Ile-de-France region. “After two or three months, you realize that your big players like having him in their team in training. He had the right behavior and investment, and was at the service of others. And then, he was good! When you put him with Kylian (Mbappé), Neymar, Leo (Messi), (Sergio) Ramos or (Marco) Verratti, they didn’t make a fuss when they saw him with the same color of vest, far from it.launched Galtier.

Relaunched on his status as an indisputable starter under the orders of Luis Enrique, the 57-year-old tactician did not say he was surprised, then listing the multiple qualities of his former protégé. “He is in a 4-3-3 which suits him very well. It’s not just the midfielder who recovers and passes, he snatches balls and breaks the lines. Physically, he is powerful and capable of repeating sprints. In the tests, he was one of the top players. He manages to combine this athletic potential with superior reading of the game. As a result, it is not quickly in the red. It also has something: it’s a parable. Head raised, he is still gathering information. With a very important element: he plays forward”. Clearly, Warren Zaire-Emery is unanimous.
