PSG’s young midfielder Warren Zaïre Emery is making remarkable progress. Thierry Henry, the coach of the French U21 team, doesn’t see any issue with potentially losing the player to the senior national team.
What if Warren Zaïre Emery were called up for Les Bleus in the upcoming Euro 2024? The PSG player is expected to participate in the Olympics a few weeks later, which could pose a recovery challenge. However, Didier Deschamps is known for surprising selections to integrate the leaders of tomorrow.
Who better than the captain of the senior French team? Thierry Henry is confident that WZE won’t remain with the U21s for long. “I’m not afraid; I want it. There’s no problem. I think that’s the goal for him. I don’t know when he’ll take that step, but what impresses me is his maturity. Yes, when you look at his date of birth, he’s young, but the way he plays is not.”
“Exceptional So Far”
“He’s mature; we don’t need to go back to the match against Newcastle, but he didn’t seem his age in that kind of situation. That’s what makes it easy, not only to establish yourself at PSG but to ask for the ball, to play one-twos, to shine.”
“But to have a player in that kind of situation, it proves that he doesn’t play at his age in terms of the game. That’s what’s really impressive. That’s why when we found ourselves here, I made him my captain. I wanted to see if he’s a player of that level too. So far, he’s answering the call, but there’s time; we’ll have to see what he does in the long run. So far, it’s been exceptional.”
“I’m repeating myself, but I’m not talking about his physical form but his understanding of the game, what he can see on the field, his anticipation, what he can do. That’s important, and I hope he continues.”
