Enrique: “I would pick Warren Zaïre-Emery for the national team every time.”
Speaking to the press ahead of Paris Saint-Germain’s Ligue 1 clash against Montpellier, manager Luis Enrique revealed that he would pick midfielder Warren Zaïre-Emery (17) if he was in charge of the Spanish or French national team. The Spaniard was full of praise for the 17-year-old revelation. The following was transcribed by RMC Sport.
“I think that if I were coach of the Spanish team, I’d select Warren every time,” Luis Enrique began on Thursday ahead of PSG’s 11th Ligue 1 clash of the season. “But I’m not the French or Spanish coach, so I can’t give the opinion of the French coach. But everyone can see what’s going on.”
“I didn’t discover him, Christophe Galtier did. A player with that profile… I saw him play last year, I saw him play down the flank. I see him playing well everywhere, wherever you put him,” enthused the Spanish coach. “He is exemplary and incredible and I can only thank him for what he does and I thank PSG for providing us with players of this quality. Warren is an example for all players who want to be professionals.”
Zaïre-Emery’s inexorable rise has been a positive boost for PSG at the start of the season. The Montreuil-born midfielder has been a nailed-on starter for Les Parisiens, and is reportedly set to be called up for the first time to Didier Deschamps’ France national team.
